Then put the rears as far back as they can go and put the fronts at the proper 45deg angle. Not perfect but better than having them too close. And sorry to @betty boop but that is a very compromised Atmos setup - bipole/dipole instead of direct radiating, ear level speakers way above ear level, surrounds at different heights to the front, rear surrounds too close together, heights way too close to each other, - breaks just about every rule there is!! But I guess that also shows that you can't really stuff it up and it may sound OK, but it certainly won't be sounding as good as it should. We have given you all the information you need to make your own decision - good luck which ever way you go, but I will leave you with one last comment, which I have said over and over and you have totally ignored : Bookshelf speakers will solve your problems - mount the rear Atmos high up on the rear wall and you will get them at the perfect 45 deg and the fronts on the ceiling 2.4m in front of you again for the perfect 45deg. Aim them all at listeners and you have no compromises. -
Thank you Luc ! I am just contacting John Cadman at the programme, I will let you all know ! -

I found the plasterboard to be the weakest link and made a total box with cutout hole for the speaker. (19mm yellow tongue leftovers) I made the box volume to the speakers specs for sealed enclosure ensuring the width fitted perfectly between two ceiling joists. Then I glued the box to the plasterboard and joists using plasterboard acrylic (no green glue at the time) and screwed it as well from the sides. This gave a good solid mount for the speaker as well. -
I think this excellent advice has come too late IDK what I have spent on tubes so far, but it must have doubled the cost of the amp already I genuinely believed I wouldn't get into all this tube rolling malarkey -- just shows what an innocent I am LOL. But I am happy with my choice -- over the years I've spent tens of thousands of pounds on hifi gear, so this R8 is a drop in the bucket. But yeah, if I had known what I now know, I may have gone for a more expensive amp to begin with. But there's still no guarantee I wouldn't have got the tube rolling bug. It never stops, does it! I'd have spent less on a crack habit 😂😂😂 -
Neither does the first, in the UK No service arrangements here, so it's back to China if it goes wrong. With shipping each way, it wouldn't be worth bothering. Not to mention you'd be months without the amp. I was aware of this when I bought mine, and just figured if it ever needs service, I'll just pay the local valve guy. That was his first price. Next day he offered it to me for 50 quid less. I imagine whoever has bought it has made a decent saving. TBH, I'd have preferred to buy it sight seen from a UK seller than sight unseen from China, so if it had been on offer when I was looking, I'd have bought it. Even at just a quid off LOL.

Thanks - that is encouraging! Bit of a stab in the dark for me, but looking forward to giving them a go.
