As nick said ATMOS only comprises a small portion of the movie and is totally dependent on how it is mixed which makes me wonder even more if I really need it vs want it. Troy i dont think your ceiling height is all that bad, maybe a bit low but positioning the overhead speakers a little closer to the LP and aimable tweeters would overcome the limitation.

I too have done the math. Send pre/pro for upgrade 900 american, New amp with 6 channels 1800 american and 4 in ceiling speakers another 400 thats a lot of change so maybe just get a projector which i will enjoy more and call it a day.

DOG is GOD spelled backwards.
What others think of me is none of my business.
