motodop 1 Posted September 18, 2018 I am about to purchase a system for Atmos 4x RP-280FA for front Left & right and surround Ls/Rs plus 4 channels of reflected Atmos height channels 1x RP-450 for Center 1x R-112 SW Subwoofer I have no real idea if this is system that could be improved upon but I'mhoping i have picked the right pieces. Any thoughts of it this system will work well for Atmos? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rebuy 582 Posted September 18, 2018 What AVR are you going to use? Speaker are right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motodop 1 Posted September 19, 2018 Thanks rebuy. I am looking at Denon or Marantz and solely concentrating on a 9.2 receiver, which can support Dolby Vison, HDR10, HLG, 4K video upscaling and HDCP 2.2 processing on all HDMI ports. With the 4x 280FA's obviously I want to take advantages of 4 overheads (or reflected overheads). ARC is important too if stability improves of this path to get SMART TV App Atmos content from the TV to the ARC port. Call me crazy but I do not find all the other add-ons of Airplay 2, stream with Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, Alexa as in anyway important to my listening pleasure. AVR-X4500H 4K AV or Marantz SR6013 maybe. I wasn't sure if the RP-280FA would be a good matching set to the RP-450 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nismo 607 Posted September 27, 2018 Sounds like a great plan for the upgrade. I've personally had Atmos for over 3 years now (with top-mounted up-firing speakers) & with a new AVR you should be ready to rock the HT with a new experience. New releases & even older catalog titles benefit from an Atmos track. Congrats ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derrickdj1 8202 Posted September 27, 2018 Hard to give good advice without knowing more about the room, ceiling height, formal HT with rows of seats vs living room style HT, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
