Thanks bro. but i am from penang, too bad but maybe can go to foundry n custom made in case i cant find it locally.

right now i'm also using satellite speaker mounted to ceiling for temporally if budget allowed will upgrade to proper ceiling speakers

Your ceiling hang is place at surround or front n i intend to buy monitor audio or kef bookself, any commend n any sifu can give some price guide.tq

This one from Monitor Audio looks nice:

Just wondering without atmos audio, the ceiling speakers are not used then?

can set your receiver to dolby surround mode or yamaha presence mode (dsp processing)

7.1 or 9.1 also can make use of the speakers does not have to be atmos

Bro i need a hang on ceiling n not inside ceiling spk. Anyway is it necessary to buy good wire for the atmos spk

Currently on 5.1 on yammy A2040. Am thinking of either going 7.1 or 5.1.2. Which would be better?

Not necessary

5.1.2

What is the reason for 5.1.2 better?

You going for atmos right ? Or you just going for normal surround 7.1

Seeing that there are only a few sources for atmos, I think maybe the better choice is to go surround. Unless the overhead speakers can be use as surround as well.

Yes it can as well for surround height

Its individual preference.. thou' l suspect , eventually all new AVR's will come with ATMOS [ New DTS-equivalent, too ??? ] n l also see tat it will be customisable - meaning .. you can wire it up or not [ just straight 5.1/7.1 ]

I personally dont hear much diff in de theaters ATMOS presentation vis-a-vis regular surround but then its just me..

I would recommend you try out first before deciding as buying/setting up such a system is not cheap or easy unless you really want it..

It is my impression that using Atmos supported BD and using speaker settings such as 5.x or 7.x, sound would still be better than Dolby TrueHD (or maybe DTS-HD MA) even though your receiver is non-Atmos. At least this is what I'm experiencing with movies that are Atmos but my receiver is not (receiver showing True-HD). Am I right or not? If, I'm right, perhaps not getting systems that support 5.x.x or 7.x.x (Atmos receiver) is still okay as I don't see myself putting ceiling speakers in the future.

I tink if ur rcvr is not ATMOS then u r getting tru hd only.. its not enhanced in anyway - its bckwrd compatible .. but mixed into de rear surrs.. kinda like if you hv 5.1 but ur disc is 7.1 - u get d 4 surr channels mixed into 2..

Yup I understand but still, the sound is simply amazing.

but you lost the flying heli,raining or thunder effect

What to do...budget only like that ma...
