Inside Atmos Equipped Studios

“I come in here just to watch movies because it’s so good”

Wow. Could someone please float me a loan so that I can replace my Polk RC85i's with those in-wall Genelec 8361s? I can only accommodate 4, not 9, so $20,000 or so should cover it, maybe 25 with installation. I'll try to pay you back before I die.

Wisdom from the pros: " I ended up going to Home Depot and getting concrete blocks and painting them, and honestly they are probably some of the best-sounding speaker stands you can have, because they’re really solid."

I love my IKEA koa cutting boards for isolating components. They’re very popular amongst audiophiles.

I used some leftover carpet to sort of isolate my speakers from the frame they sit in. No buzzing for sure.

“Everyone should be interested in Atmos,” Nilsson concludes. “The music is a lot more fun; it’s more musical and more involving. I want to develop it more and more, and I’ll never go back. I’ve been searching for this for 30 years.”

He's correct. Unfortunately, there is a lot of distorted garbage emanating from the height speakers from an abudance of streamed Atmos material. One day, streamed Atmos will be full bandwidth and that put an end to the issue. (Of course, the engineers will continue with brickwalling.)

Coincidentally, somebody advising me on my room just recommend this last night. They would have to be mighty large though.

Interesting! Nice to have a name--or at least a studio--to attach to some of the recent Naxos classical mixes. And I don't think I knew that Esbjorn Svensson (and other artists on the ACT jazz label) had gotten the Atmos treatment. Gonna track those down today.

One advantage to being banished to the cold basement is that my floor standers sit on carpet / padding which sits on a concrete floor. I'd rather have to fool with painted concrete blocks, spikes, or whatever to have my system reside in the warmer parts of the house during the winter.

Actually, I'm gonna walk that back a bit: I actually had Mats Bergström's EP of Reich's "Electric Counterpoint" in my library and had forgotten about it; it's a very active mix. The Nils Landgren album is pretty nice, too, as is the Peter Mattei collection of Mahler songs.

@mkt, thanks for sharing this with us. Now, I’m not one to imply that Justin Gray doesn’t have the goods(I’m sure that he has produced great Dolby Atmos and Sony 360RA mixes in that room), but his speaker setup with him in the sweet spot looks just a little too near field for my taste. I’m not advocating for everyone to have to have a cavernous listening room/home theater, but a 3-5 meter x 3-5 meter room I would think to be more common for end user home playback. Anyway, that’s just my 2 cents(and probably worth about that much).

Coolest stands I've seen were in a building on a slab foundation. They were cement poured into frames right there on the foundation, holding up a giant pair of Linns. It was a cutting room/vinyl mastering with a lathe that got used daily.

Please pardon my ignorance but are the L-C-R speakers too close to each other?
