Atmos Speaker placement

Use link above. Placement is actually pretty crucial to get Atmos to work right. I got it wrong and have been disappointed ever since.

Thanks, but I have been unable to download to that site.

Thanks.
It looks like the sound can be bounced off the ceiling. 
I was thinking that with my side speakers on stands I could have them pointing towards the ceiling. Or perhaps angled a bit.
Would that suffice?

Follow the guidelines in the dolby link, it worked nicely for me, if anything i would go slightly wider than explained by dolby....

Possibly. In fact they now make floorstanding speakers with additionally an extra driver or two pointed upward for that reflection purpose.  Or small speakers designed to be placed upon the flat top of floor standing speakers. 

Mot a ton of manufacturers but Klipsch is one of them I recall. They are called Atmos enabled speakers. 

So yes I think that’d be possible. 

kren0006,

Thanks, I think that’s where I got the idea.
At this point I have no desire to mount speakers on/in the ceiling...
