Oversized, redundant, failsafe, 4 times Atmos = Quad-AtmosHmmmm.
Say ? If I put 4 soundbars on the ceiling......wouldn't that give me Atmos ??!!

I am trying to figure out how to turn a living room into a liliving room.Me too
I've been very carefuly with the hidden cabling, but I had the advantage of designing for it first as it was a complete renewal of the liliving room.
They are Outliers:I do envy you guys that have understanding wives when it comes to music.
Wise choice. But I have the bigger TV. I bought it with my own money.So my solution was to remove the wife factor altogether. We each have our own space....and of course I let her have the larger room and TV!
To be able to pull wires trough the ceiling and install in-ceiling Atmos speakers the best way is to install a false ceiling and then you can remove and put the ceiling tiles. Even move the speakers and lighting if you didn't find the right position at first.I am trying to figure out how to turn a living room into a liliving room.
I had an idea on hiding cables. Make cornice lighting around the room with a cable tray hidden in it.
I did the wrong thing here. All the cables are in the wall - for old surround systems. Atmos was not hatched yet.
On a shelf over the bathroom door .................. an Ethernet/RF connected Roberts Stream 93i Internet/DAB Radio which can stream (stereo only) from the NAS as well!I must say, music in the bath sounds like a nice idea. And there is even room for a subwoofer under the bath behind the panelling!
How fortunate for you that you have your own money. We don't work that way in my family.They are Outliers:

I opted for the larger, white, square cable raceways. If you can hide the wiring, though, good. I was able to just get 4 12 gauge wires in, although I split one into 14 gauge about halfway through the run when I ran out of 12 gauge running to the rears/overhead speakers. I used all 12 gauge for the fronts and center. Yes, overkill, maybe, but I had it already from the long runs I moved from the larger room to the smaller one.I am trying to figure out how to turn a living room into a liliving room.

We figured out a good system that we’ve used our entire marriage. Both our paychecks go into a joint account, but we also have individual accounts that get automatic transfers from the joint account. So just like when I was a kid, I get an allowance. Works for us, anyway. She doesn’t care if I buy music and I don’t care if she buys purses. Occasionally we discuss whether or not an expense is mine or ours, but so far it hasn’t necome a fight.How fortunate for you that you have your own money. We don't work that way in my family.
Nothing wrong with a bit of overkill. I have plenty of my own instances.I opted for the larger, white, square cable raceways. If you can hide the wiring, though, good.

It's better than having to do it again because the original was under spec.Nothing wrong with a bit of overkill. I have plenty of my own instances.
Sure. I guess it came out that I was being critical, but I didn't mean it that way. I'm for whatever works.We figured out a good system that we’ve used our entire marriage.

Suspended ceiling with rattling cross-tees and support wires?To be able to pull wires trough the ceiling and install in-ceiling Atmos speakers the best way is to install a false ceiling and then you can remove and put the ceiling tiles.

But to do that in a living room, with WAF approval, was a little hard. My wife thought it was going to be like the ceiling of her office at work. I looked for many 'nice' pictures on the internet to show her...
In the end I finaly convince her and was able to put the rock wool tiles to make some sound absortion. And it looks a little better than the normal drywall, that I put previously (for training...) in the kitchen with lighting and three in-ceiling speakers there. Also the kitchen and living room are wire connected (network, hdmi and speakers) and I can listen/watching from the living room AVR to the kitchen TV and speakers. Also the wire conections (network, HDMI and some old USB) goes to the Work Office/PC room where I have the server/NAS with all multimedia to serve to the living room and the kitchen.
Several years to manage that. I only could do that because a phased integral renewal of all the rooms.
I even have false ceiling with two speakers and bluetooth receptor in the bathroom. My wife is delighted with music in the bathroom from her mobile.
I did mine in a suspended ceiling, Nothing rattles.Suspended ceiling with rattling cross-tees and support wires?

Their "extending listening" arrangement perfectly mirrors my "4 speakers on the corners of a twin bed" home office setup. Huh.CBS' speaker layout recommendations were setout on the rear of the jacket of their SQ Quad demonstration record "New Quadraphonic Gala", from 1976;

as you can see from the diagram on the Left, a 4-corner arrangement was what they advised "for the most vivid quadraphonic experience"
