Hi
Confinement is a beach (on-purpose play on spelling)... I am forced to come up with ways not to get bored to death. We all are.
I am working on a separate 2-channel system. I have opened a thread on that and am making sloooow progress. I already have a decent HT with the following components
Denon AVR-X3400H
3 JBL LSR 308 for LCR
2 JBL LSR 305 for Surround
3 Parts Express Subwoofers
BenQ HT2550A PJ
Electric Screen ( Soon to be a Stewart)
Samsung BD Player
Mostly Netflix and Amazon Prime but acquiring some BD material from time to time... This system works, it is surprisingly good. It reaches in my concrete 6 x 4 x 2.5m, concrete room, deafening SPL, 110 dB was measured in an Aquaman and I think it could go higher. I rarely surpass 95 dB at the listening position, which to me, is unbearably loud.
I am interested in Dolby Atmos. I find that good audio adds to my enjoyment of many movies. For some movies it is only the clarity of the dialog but on some, the sound add a new dimension to the actions , even romantic movies profit from great audio ... YMMV. Atmos seems to pass through Dolby True HD or Dolby Digital va HDMI, a requirements it seems. I have that, my AVR can decode Atmos and DTS-X... I suppose my ultra-El Cheapo BD-player will at least pass the Atmos information to the Denon AVR X-3400H which in my system works as a Pre/Pro with 9 channels of amplification unused. My questions:
Will the Samsung BD-5700 send Atmos to the AVR? (I use it as the streaming gateway, it has the Netflix and Prime apps)
Do Netflix or Prime encode the Atmos info in their 5.1 data stream if it is present in the original?
Can I use any vaguely decent speakers on the ceiling, and enjoy Atmos? I suppose they must be able to play loud, I am not trying to put a Neuman KH 8341 up there on account of perfect fidelity... does Atmos require that?
All that in the context of Home Theatre/Movies. I am not yet interested in MCH for music.
Your learned replies will be most appreciated.
A corporate customer for whom I was installing a Video Conference system offered me a pair of Bose 161
for close to nothing ...
