Scrappydue Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 We are moving as fast as we can. I don't know when official details will be released. Rest assured they are coming, and soon!That's great news, thanks for the update! I have the Denon X4100W with Atmos decoding & over the past 6 months I’ve played with 4 different pairs of speakers in various placements & configurations. And I can say that I really appreciate & prefer the upward firing Atmos option. With that approach... the speaker shoots the audio upwards (at an angle), hits the ceiling, reflects, disperses & falls down to the listener. Visually think of it as a wave that rises, curls & cascades over you when at the beach.By comparison, conventional ceiling or wall mount speakers are great & have been around for a quite some tiime, but they all deliver audio from a “fixed” position. Ceiling speakers in the home environment (with 8-10-12 foot ceilings) don't have the space to disperse. Just for example in John Wick (a great Atmos Blu-ray) .... when playing the standard Dolby TrueHD track; it has the barrage of bullets, helicopters & rainfall "coming at you" at ear level (very directional, either from the front or rear)... very much an "Equator" only sound hemisphere. It just hits you from "1" sound stage. With the ATMOS track.... the barrage of bullets, helicopters & rainfall hits you from the "whole, northern" sound hemisphere above you... not just the linear "ear level equator". In the real world, when a gun is fired in a room... the concussion of sound, expands hits the ceiling & fills the room. The sound doesn't come from a fixed position (i.e., front left corner). That dome of sound is really effective & noticeably different with the Atmos track. That example demonstrates the benefit an Atmos track provides & I'm only using 2 front modules. I can only imagine how great & immersive the sound will be when I add an additional pair of upward firing modules to the back as well. Good stuff! I can't wait for future updates. i have 4 kpt 100's I might just be ready to part with soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
