Might not be for me, but I do none of the things you mention. Dolby Reference player software is top of my list for now.

Beautiful.

Yes they were kits.

I forgot about the double drywall on the back of that false wall. Crazy how much cheaper building supplies were back then.

The Subs are actually screwed to the plywood and then the driver access and output ports were routed out of the plywood to match. The wall to the rear is double 5/8s drywall with Green Glue as it was going to be the front wall before I bought the subs. Three windows were filled in with rebar and concrete as well. The entire cavity is filled with the pink stuff to the ceiling. I made the grills out of matching Klipsch cloth.

Yes. Danley DTS10s Room built with studs on 8" centers. Layer of 3/4" birch plywood Green Glue and 5/8" drywall. It does not rattle. Designed around the Khorns

Every Pre pro I have tried has sounded worse in my system than not going that route. Stereo and multichannel music is my priority and the do everything and add a kitchen sink boxes always hurt that. I am researching computer based software possibilities or something like the Arvus decoders to do Atmos.

I am considering working towards being able to play Atmos in my media room. More interested in multichannel music than movies. I posted in the pro forum but I think maybe this is the place. I am not willing to rip out my ceiling but I will be able to run one pair of overhead speakers to the direct sides of the listening chairs. Is it worth the effort if you can only use two atmos speakers?? Generally How much signal is sent to the overhead speakers. is it less the same or more than the side and rears? Full range? Im not looking to go the AVR or even PRE/PRO route or put cheap in ceiling speakers in so the cost will not be insignificant. Is it really all that different from good 7.1 or should I just buy more LPs Probably do it since Im itching to do something stereo related for the first time in ten or more years.

Oops sorry. Current rack.

I think it means Klipsch Pro Theater

I am considering moving to an Atmos system. The amount of material available in music is pushing me in that direction. I am actually over wanting anything beyond my current 7.1 setup for movies. Right now I am running KPT12 VBs as sides and 1201s as rears. Front stage is Khorns and LaScalla center. I need whatever I get to keep up. How much sound actually comes out of the Atmos speakers? How low do they play. Is there any reason the speakers I listed would not be a good choice. If I do make the jump I will only be able to do one pair over head to the sides of the seats. Iran conduit to the projector from the rack but I'm not tearing out the ceiling to do this. Is it still worth it or should I just live with 7.1?

I am going to sell one of my 2 pairs of Forte 2s. One pair has ALK crossovers and titanium tweeter diaphragms Condition is very good for age. No chips or scratches except minor ones on risers that are not visible. Original crossovers and tweeters are included. Oiled Oak finish. Second pair are very minty and all original. Oiled oak finish. I will get pictures up soon. The original pair are in the boxes and I have to dig them out of the closet. Pick up in Salt Lake City for now. $1200.00 buyer picks.

MC7150 driving KHorns Sounds better than anything else tried although I haven't tried many and now see no reason to ever change.

With DSD files from Roon I can honestly not tell a difference between my DAC that supports DSD and those that only do PCM with Roon converting. They all sound Wonderfull. Im wondering if a setting is wrong for you. My quality light shows purple with the DSD capable DACs and Green with the ones that are not. Ive never seen a yellow dot.I would check settings. I also wonder if something in your signal chain is not compatible with what Roon wants to send it.
