walkerroo Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi all, I thought I'd create this post to see if you could offer me advice on the below setup and whether it is suitable for an immersive Atmos experience for an area that's approximately 4.5m long x 3m wide. The seating distance is 4 metres from where the TV unit will be and the main left and right speakers. Based on this would the below setup be sufficient / is the AV receiver powerful enough to drive these speakers in a 5.1.2 configuration? Denon AVR-X2500H Receiver Jamo Theatre Pack - 2 x S 809 Tower Speakers 2 x S 803 Speakers for Surround Sound 1 x S 83 CEN Center Channel Speaker Yamaha NS-IC600 ceiling speakers (for Atmos setup) Thanks in advance.

Irek Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I would consider AVR with pre outs - just in case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Sounds like you're sold on atmos but if open to not having it I am considering selling my Denon AVR4520 and Cambridge Audio 551Rv2 https://www.denon.co.uk/uk/product/hometheater/avreceivers/avr4520ci https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/en/products/archive/azur-551r Both are very respectable.
