Sorry , sometimes it sounds right in my head but not when other read it. I was hoping you could quantify the improvement the receiver made devoid of the ATMOS upgrade. IE playing back a 7.1 truehd movie without using any of the ATMOS intervention. Truehd is channel based while ATMOS is object based so it is my understanding that you can reauthor the audio with the receiver to take advantage of ATMOS even if the sound track is not ATMOS. Also do you feel you lost anything by going with M22's over the QS8's when watching standard dolby sound tracks.

What others think of me is none of my business.
