Best Dolby Atmos Speakers

Dolby Atmos speakers add the overhead height dimension that makes modern surround sound feel three-dimensional, placing rain, aircraft and other effects above your seats rather than around them. They come in two main forms: upfiring modules that sit on top of your front speakers and bounce sound off the ceiling, and dedicated in-ceiling or on-ceiling speakers that fire straight down. They suit any home theater with an Atmos-capable receiver and a reasonably flat ceiling. When buying, decide between upfiring convenience and in-ceiling accuracy, match the speakers to the timbre of your existing set for a seamless soundfield, and check ceiling height, since upfiring modules work best between roughly eight and twelve feet. Verify your receiver has the extra amplified channels needed.
