    Dolby Atmos speakers placed as front height, how many of you?

    I don't have an expensive state of the art home theater. But when I watch a movie or good TV series, it sounds way better than any cinema I've ever been to, and I don't live in a little town, while at the same time I don't live in any of the major cities like New York or LA, where I imagine...

I've noticed that when connected to my iPhone playing music that supports Dolby Atmos on Apple Music, it sounds terrible and disjointed. This issue is not present on any of my other headphones or single-driver IEMs. Anybody...

    Home Theatre surround speaker SPL requirements

    This is a question that comes up a lot: how loud must those surround speakers go compared to the fronts? While it's very tempting to just have all speakers of the same model, it is often impractical and economically undesirable. So what gives? What can you get away with? Instinctively, my...

    Community, Looking for some advise. Currently have three KEF R3s for LCR. I’m trying to budget for additional speakers. Two rear surrounds and four height speakers for the “unified layout”.
