I'd suspect something is up with your situation specifically. Especially if it's 5.1/7.1 to atmos ..... I could understand if you said you didn't like stereo to full atmos, or something (more likely to be you just don't like it, etc.) .... but I reckon if 7.1 upmixed to atmos sounds weird (or significantly worse), then there's a problem. Maybe it's just my preferences. I spent quite a few hours trying to find the best setting for Dolby Atmos and Dolby true HD7.1. In most cases 7.1 sounded best with ceiling speakers disabled. I only use "straight" setting, I don't like unnecessary processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be added onto pretty much any HT system, doesn't need a fancy AVR or software support. Hmm, that sounds pretty good. Anyone have a recommended source for them?

In that case your not upmixing anyway ; ''straight'' is just the bitstream which is fair enough as some like only what the directors intent was . DSU splits the frequencies up into packets rather than the whole lot so steering is more precise than earlier versions Quote The Dolby Surround upmixer is based on phase and gain relationships of elements in the signal, but importantly employs wideband functionality that analyzes and processes multiple perceptually spaced frequency bands in the signal. The benefit is a finer-grained analysis of the source content prior to steering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of users on AVS are using behringer amps to power them, a lot cheaper than the crowson amp. i don’t think you’ll need 4 actuators for a 3 seater, 2 might be enough, possibly 3 (single actuators are sold on the crowson usa site but not shown on oceanic distribution) Edited December 7, 2018 by hakka69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some nice immersion Would be remiss of me not to mention the considerably upmarket clever actuator system that's enabled by disc metadata from Wavetrain https://www.wavetrain.com.au/dbox-seats-australia/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
