I have some pictures of Ian's boathouse somewhere - he had 4 M80's from the roof of his boathouse for his Axiom 30th Birthday party!

I wasn't thinking of placing all 34 speakers in the ceiling but rather using 34 in-ceiling speakers for a 24.1.10 Atmos layout with 4 subs. Each speaker would be located exactly as specified by Dolby. I'd like to hear them.

I think I would go with a combination of in-walls / in-ceilings instead. I would think the in-walls would sound better then ceiling speakers.
I'm only guessing as I have never heard the In-walls.

34 in-wall/in-ceiling speakers and 4 subs WOULD be pretty cool, but think about how many speakers wires that is. I say just go with this for a "full-on" experience:

Wire is cheap, relatively speaking. The Trinnov Pre/Pro needed would cost more than all the equipment currently in my room combined.
It's just a pipe dream but I'd want all matching speakers, either all in wall or in ceiling or not. Regular M2's are looking pretty good too. The cost of the mounts add up fast though.
The reality of that GIF would be that you'd ever need to worry about the nuances in music any more, you'd be lucky if the ringing ever stopped and you could understand basic conversation after.

I know, I was just trying to find a way to tie in that image. LOL

Pretty sure the Trinnov is the only commercially available unit that can do 34 channels and he needed processing at the moment. There are others that are close behind.
I'm pretty sure most AVR's are limited to less than 13 channels when using a separate amp to power the channels the AVR can power. This should change in the near future, I'd assume quite a few manufacturers are considering building AVR's with more pre-outs.
I can't jump in this round, stuck on the sidelines watching it all unfold.
