After approximately 5 years of mixing and matching and moving things up and down and around and around lol, I have never been happier with my set up, my rear speakers are 7 feet behind my MLP, high up in each corner and pointed towards me, they are turned 3db’s up above the fronts and centre (9 feet away), my up-firing atmos speakers are as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike so I tend to not get hung up on atmos music anymore, for some reason they tend to sound much better on movies !!!
Animals sound freaking awesome with my set up, it’s everything I have been hoping for since I first read it was being released
