Pulling out the sofa is a good idea if you have the space but in most instances there just isn't enough depth in the room, so sofa has to be against the back wall. In a small rectangular room with the sofa against the wall it's probably the best arrangement for diffuse surround speakers. I use my dipoles on the back wall with the bottom of the dipoles about 6 inches about ear height, and they sound awesome with whatever soundtrack I throw at it, from Dolby TrueHD / DTS-HD Master to Dolby Atmos / DTS:X soundtracks. Even as immersive soundtracks become more popular, regular HD audio is probably going to outnumber immersive soundtracks by quite a large margin for some time to come. I've got a pretty large blu-ray / UHD collection and from over 420 films only about 22 are actually Atmos or DTS:X, so that's only a very small minority of soundtracks which recommend using direct radiating monopole speakers at ear height.
I'm using the prime elevation speakers if that matters.Unless his whole library of films is going to be Atmos or DTS:X soundtracks, that doesn't make much sense.
(There is a reason dolby recommends this!)īut if you're wondering it's still far better than plain 5.1. The only way to fix it is to go 5.1.4 or mount your speakers on the ceiling. A source device to play Dolby Atmos content. So one will usually always sound grander than the other.

The sound stage is not balanced when you do 5.1.2 without ceiling placement whether its front heights or rears, because in essence you're adding to an existing sound field (rears/fronts) instead of creating a new one (ceiling).

It still delivers "overhead" sound well (helicopter fly bys, gun shots etc) but for general ambience and "immersion" it doesn't do as well.ĮX: For Rain instead of it sounding like the rain is shooting down at my head, it sounds like there's a full blown thunderstorm behind me and a light drizzle in front of me. It doesnt sound as good as placing the speakers on the ceiling would. If I had to rate it I'd give it a 7.5/10.
