    In the past year, I've experimented with different speaker setups for Atmos. See, the thing is... "Atmos" is nothing more than an audio codec that your receiver or output device is required to support. The point of it is to give you object-oriented sound, so which they can place sound in an exact location based upon your speaker setup.
    My living room, which I haven't build the surround sound for yet, will have a general 7.1 surround, but it'll then have 4 perfectly positioned in-ceiling speakers. The purpose here is to give the 7.1 surround 'height' to bounce each of those 4 surround speakers (Surround Front Left, Surround Front Right, Surround Rear Left, Surround Rear Right) an adjacent ceiling speaker to have NOW a 3D oriented space for sound to travel.
    See, the point of it isn't to give you 'spacial distance', it's to give the listener an actual location in your hearing proximity by balancing different inputs and frequencies.
    Say an explosion happens on the left of your TV Show, Movie or Video Game. They can pinpoint that exact location now by setting specific levels between those 4 left channels (surround front, rear left and overhead lefts) to give you a perfect 'location' in your hearing proximity.
    Additional to this is creating it in a way to where the listener is actually in a correct position to "hear" the difference. For mine, I put the surround fronts at a mid-wall, and the ceiling...on the ceiling lol. The rears, however, I put at the bottom of the wall, with the ceiling speakers on the ceiling. Exact in the listening position, about 1ft back from the couch. At least, that's the mapped out plans for when that room is finished up entirely.
    For the bedroom, this is where I went creative.
    Originally, I was going to do 4 wall mounted bookshelf speakers in listening position; So 2 at the front, to smaller ones next to each side of the bed pointed down. Then I realized the price of ceiling speakers was SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER than bookshelf speakers. Sure, I may already have 7 bookshelf speakers from my decade collection of "Yamaha speakers", but for $300 I could grab myself a singular higher-end Klipsch speaker, which would usually cost double for the cabinet. Or $150 for a pair of in-ceiling Yamaha's, which is usually that price for one. So I opted something different before putting drywall up. I put 4 speakers on the ceiling, and 2 in the stereo listening position (with a center of course) where the TV would go. My idea was simply that height in itself could makeup for the front-surround channels, and it 'should' work out well.
    And I set this one up last week, used the Atmos receiver (Denon 8k) with the laptop and put on Netflix, setup the laptop to 7.1 surround and properly setup each speaker to a proper listening level and adjusted each one.
    Putting on a Movie, TV Show or video game that supports Atmos feels like heaven compared to a traditional 7.1 surround sound. Projected down speakers, regardless of a 'pair' for the side (to give object orientation) still feels significantly MORE spatial than something such as a bookshelf set on a stand (or wall mounted) to the listening surround rears or fronts.
    So if I had to give anyone advice for a surround sound now in 2021. I would say if you have the expertise to run/fish cable through studs, or if you're redoing ceiling drywall anyway, do yourself a solid and get yourself some sweet in ceiling speakers at minimum. I tried doing "project off the top of the speaker" with this gimmick one I borrowed from a friend last year. This sounds NOTHING like that, and I have smaller ceilings (8ft lol). I can't imagine how people in 10ft or larger ceilings feel trying to use something that 'emulates' just putting a speaker in the ceiling. You're actually paying more too for those 'atmos projected' speakers than you are for just buying a good quality in ceiling speaker.
    And a note for the wise, if you buy cheaper in ceiling speakers, you can increase sound in the cavity by adding insulation or building a projected 'box' out of insulative materials that dampen sound in the cavity. The more dense you make the 'box' in that cavity, the more it'll create a bassier sound. I used Theatre Solution speakers for my bluetooth speakers that i put in each ceiling for 'all home audio', and I cannot stress this enough -- it really makes a big difference for even higher end speakers in ceilings too. If you already have insulation in the ceiling, cut yourself out just a section where the speaker sits, create a 'box' projection for it to bounce off. It'll probably create a little vibration on the floor above, but it's worth it for the extra bass. It really makes it soo much nicer.

    Brian, thanks for the reminder that the studios have that, I'd forgotten since I have 1 in the garage and 1 in the kitchen...but I've had it with all amazons software screw ups and dragging their feet for months without fixing stuff....so, I'm reducing my integration of smart speakers. I'm going back to soundbars, 2.1 computer speaker set ups and just use an echo dot for commands connected via hardwired 3.5mm. Now that I'll have 2 unused studios perhaps I'll play around with a firestick and echo sub in my office for the whole atmos thing.

    EAC3 Spatial surround files or sideloaded apps that put out Spatial surround through the Fire TV Cube is the work around with the 2 Echo Studios Echo Sub setup. Any content push through Kodi can achieve Dolby Atmos. I had the original Xcloud app (Xbox Gamepass) streaming from my Xbox Series pushing Dolby atmos.( just use the Sound not the streaming video) Dolby 5.1 with toslink cables and splitters aren't that bad also.

    I had my two Echo Studios and Echo sub with 2nd Gen Fire TV Cube for about a year now. Coming from a AVR Dolby 5.1 set up. I'm thrilled with these Home Theater set up. I have the two Studios in front of my TV with the Sub around my Sofa area to add that extra feeling of sound.
    All three provides tremendous amount of bass. So, I have to leave them in the negative area in the app settings. I like to play around with placement or EQ settings but I never have enough time.
    I'm starved for Echo Studio YT video content. I have YT music subscription also a Amazon HD subscription and you can use YT Music from the youtube app. I like to find apps with spatial surround Dolby Atmos for work arounds to include with other devices.
    I'm disappointed Amazon didn't mention the Studio that much during the last press event. Other then Billie Eilish model. I'm starved for Echo Studio content. If you find any Echo Studio content, speaker placement, stands or pass through for other devices. Please make more videos for the few of us that realize that this ia good affordable alternative to a Dolby Atmos home theater system.

    But when csn we finally expect GOOGLE to make it possible to add multiple speakers into surround? Now still only stereo possible.

It doesn't say it is in the listing but my receiver is registering the signal as Atmos and the TV comes up with Dolby vision when I start the movie.

Tons of research, this and that I found a device called Arcana. It has an eArc output that goes to my (any) hdmi soundbar port, in my case it was into an Sonos Arc bar. Took me a while to accomplish what I wanted but finally can hear Atmos. Disney plus has most content from all of these apps, recently watched newest Mortal Kombat on HBO max also in Atmos. Still its not what I want cuz I'm missing rear speakers plus Sonos Sub, but with stands it's close to $1500 with taxes and everything, but eventually I'll get all that.

    Are you happy now? I broke down and purchased a new phone bringing me from Android 8 to Android 11, so now I can have Alexa dark mode. (Samsung A52 5G) Besides my recharge cycle was down to about 2 hours of heavy usage. Would have liked to have WiFi 6 touted on the Samsung S21 Ultra, but it wasn't worth the extra $700. Besides, they've been fumbling with WiFi 6 for two years now and don't seem to have a solid standard everyone follows. As I stated before I miss those removable batteries, which are no more, but now to add to the corporate greed the flagship phones are doing away with MicroSD capabilities and forcing you to buy phones with different amounts of built-in expansion memory for a higher price. What a rip. At least the one I just bought still has MicroSD capabilities and a headphone jack. LOL They are promising 4 years of support for it. We shall see.

    That’s odd I own a Denon avr with atmos and DTSX. And I’m able to watch Disney+ in dolby atmos and it even shows the symbols on the tv. And I’m in Canada so I have no idea what Disney+ is talking about lol

      That's the summary, sadly. And it's ever changing. That's the actual point of the video...that it's not easy and it's not cheap and it's a pain even when you get it working.

      I think it's an infrastructure thing David...but there's a few folks who've said that they've managed to get it here in Canada. Could be a trial deal for some or it could be that there are a few methods I didn't find to getting it. But so far...no Apple TV 4K and no Fire TV Cube or stick.
