Hey gang. Question to those who currently are utilizing height/atmos type setup. I currently have 4 KLipsch Atmos speakers. They are mostly intended to be sat on top of your existing tower speakers. Then, they are angled upward and supposedly reflect sound off the ceiling down towards listening area. Simple enough concept, but I'm not happy at all honestly as once the sound has to go that far and reflect...I can't really hear it.
So, I could mount those speakers up on the walls...sort of the 4 corners. They are a bit heavy for that, but could be done. Since they are wedge shaped, they would be, by default, angled down towards me.
ON the other hand, I found a set of 5 JBL satellite speakers that are only a pound or so. Placement of those would be pretty easy. But......the easiest way (per the mounts that came with them) would be to mount them "flush" up in the corners. That would mean the sound would be above my head, but not angled down towards me. Just going straight out. If you know what I mean. Would I be happy with that, or to get the true effect, I need to have all 4 angled down towards me?? I could do that too, but with a little "engineering" lol
