wimwagner Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) Sorry for all of the questions lately, but my home theater has been pretty much unchanged for the past 4 years and now I'm behind the curve. I don't have ceiling atmos speakers, nor the means of installing them, so I was looking to buy the R-26FA speakers. My AVR is a Denon x3400H though, and by looking at the back of the R-26FA's, it looks like they need multiple hook ups to the AVR. I'm currently running a traditional 7.1 set up, fwiw. Would I even be able to properly connect the speakers if I buy them or would an AVR upgrade be required? I'd be wiling to drop my surround rears if it makes a difference. Thanks, in advance!

wuzzzer Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Your receiver only decodes and powers 7 speakers so you’d need to eliminate your rear surrounds. That being said, upfiring modules provide virtually no Atmos experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just explore traditional tower speakers then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Separate speakers for Atmos that you can mount high on the wall or ceiling mounted work best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
