Interesting. I wonder just how those tripoles with one woofer pointING straight out would do. Almost seems like the best of both worlds, but at the same time I don't know how much value I put into a sales guy at store that doesn't seem to properly set up even their own equipment that they sell. Still, it would possibly be slightly closer to what Dolby wants. Then again, anything that it "filling gaps" in a sound field wouldn't seem to be precise enough to create a pinpoint Atmos object. Who knows... sounds like a fun time killer that you had though.
