Exactly, 5.1 is 6 speakers and will bog down most homes.in regards to atmos "killing" home theater... this is an exaggeration but you can readily see how if some people found 5.1 setups to be painful then how is 7.2 going to entice them?
qv. why is soundbars gaining popularity? its not because they do 7.2 channels...
Atmos is 7.2.4 which is 13 speakers unless you do patmos (partial atmos and a gorgeous beautiful Greek Island). By the way, Atmos means steam in Greek and I guess Dolby was visualizing sound rising through the air.
