Axiom Home Page Forums Thread Like Summary - Ceiling speakers for my Axiom Epic 60 - 500 setup?

Hello all, I hope everyone is doing well.
I am retiring my Yamaha RX-V3800 receiver, and going with a newer AVR that supports Dolby Atmos and DTS X.
I currently have the Axiom Epic 60 - 500 Speakers (7.1) and will probably be adding 4 ceiling speakers to go 7.1.4.

What ceiling speakers can I use that will compliment my current Axiom speakers?
Does Axiom have a recommended ceiling speaker to go with my QS8's?

Also, do I need a channel per speaker?
So, if I have 11 speakers (7.1.4) do I need an 11 channel AVR?

Thanks!

Just one more thin subwoofer, sir

My thoughts are someone at Axiom is smoking crack. Read this and you'll feel the same way.

Ian prefers the M3OW mounted to the ceiling over the M3IC's tweeter alignment.

Mount the M3OW parallel to the row of seats and with no more of an angle of 15 degrees away from the row of seats with tweeters pointed out to the sidewalls.
