I felt the same way when I started out. My kid got a cheap 5.1 HTIB for Christmas from his mom and that lasted about a month and igot the bug and its been non stop since LOL. For reference I was a real 2 channel nut with lots of equipment then kids happened then I got hooked on HT and man it get expensive. Anyway what I have found is that you should not be able to detect the source of the sound and when you achieve that your have reach nirvana. I have an emotiva processor and their is an upgrade coming for atmos which I am eager to try and hope like hell it delivers since it will be a huge expense. Atmos should be the next step in filling in any voids and lessening the ability to pinpoint the speakers. Baby steps man LOL.
