chasec2021 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 It should as far as I know. I am not exactly and expert, but I spoke the guys who originally wired my house for my surround sound and told them I wanted to do something like you are talking about. I have Ref iis all around and said i could use quintet satellites for atmos. He said there should be no issue whatsoever using those for Atmos. I think as long as you match well you should be fine. I am just waiting and saving up for a receiver that can handle it, but my finances are tight right now. I plan on doing exactly what you are asking about, you should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done no research to back that theory up tho Let us know what you end up doing and how it works out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
