So, I posted pictures of the Side High Atmos speakers I put up above the side surrounds in an all Axiom (for the moment there is a big HSU subwoofer and an EP600, to be replaced by a pair of EP600s). So, I watched a movie this evening, Battle Los Angeles. Holy smoke!!! 2 LFR1100 Actives, VP160 center, 8 M2 on walls, Marantz AV8805, Integra Research 7 channel amp, Marantz 2 channel amp and 2 ADA1500s (5 channels each) OPPO UDP205. It was great!!! (One of my favorite alien invasion movies)
No reason to go to the movies any more. I can make my own popcorn and don't have to worry about anyone sneezing on the back of my head. This is an Axiom home theater system and it is great.
Enjoy yours!

is Battle of Los Angeles available in ATMOS?
So far I've only tried out the bed surrounds using the highest channel mix I could find in my rack ... Lord of the Rings: return of the king ... and that was only 6.1 DTS.
There are a few Netflix & Amazon movies and TV shows in ATMOS but my understanding (and I'm not really 100% sure) is that one needs to get ATMOS on disk to get the full res presentation.

I think the Marantz processes it as ATMOS, not sure though. Nevertheless the 4K Battle Los Angeles was great. I love that movie. It shows the US military as young heroes, noble, frightened, brave.
How are you Mr. rrlev? I hope you and your family are well.

We are doing quite well. My wife keeps us quite busy on the social front (covid safe with all but a few close freinds). Between that working, kids, finishing stuff on the house, and being present family wise I usually can find an hour or two to play with the audio stuff (if I don't sleep much  )

BTW I do have a 500 in the family room Yes because 2x600=1200>800. Also gives more placement flexibility. But (2x500)+800 is even better.
