Atmos = object-oriented coding to put sounds in specific locations in your HT space.  It sounds promising if it works. 


Will add the board soon.

Call me old fashioned, but my 4.1 surround (no center) powered by Marantz tuned w/ Audessey has me pretty happy. I don't see the need for anything over 7.1 unless your room is downright huge. In which case, line arrays for days!

Maybe I don't get it.  With video, all I hope to achieve is to put the sound where it originally belonged, with a reasonable sense of realism.  I suppose improved directionality is an improvement, just as is better resolution (audio and video).  In my 12 by 16 foot room, there isn't much more space, even in the walls/ceiling, to achieve that.  And, as much as I enjoy the theater, my audio system will always be the first priority when significant additional resources are available.

On the other hand, if I were starting over, I can imagine several dozen, small, wide range drivers scattered about the room, none of which would require much power, but all of which would present a substantial combined result.  Of course, for those of you who know me, each driver/channel would be voiced to maximize frequency response at it's location.  I guess I better start buying more EQ channels:)
