I think that this question came up a couple of months ago, and the "speculative" answer was "no."

Besides "Atmos Enabled" speakers (the ones that reflect off of the ceiling) are a huge compromise in Atmos performance if the room has any sort of "non-ideal" configuration... Ceiling too high, or not high enough, angled ceilings, obstructions between the modules and the ceiling, seating placement relative to the speakers becomes more critical to be aligned, etc....

With actual overhead speakers, you can pretty much account for all of those "problems" and get really great Atmos sound.
