Those built in speakers are the (4) in the end of 5.1.(4).
They are designed to point up to the ceiling and reflect the sound off of it to simulate the "Atmos" sound.
Receivers are not being discounted like they have been in the past...while speakers still are
So if we ever get back to "normal" discounts, you should be able to buy a 9.2 receiver for about the same price as these speakers
There were receivers like the Pioneer LX503 " pre pandemic" priced at $599, that were 9.2
My buddy got an Onkyo RZ630 9.2 receiver only 3 years ago for $399 before the pandemic blew up. I was also able to buy a Denon x4500 for under $700 back then.
Hopefully when production ramps back up the prices will drop again.
At the prices you listed above from that past, you could resell those used today and make a profit
Its crazy

If someone doesn't have the budget for a decent atmos set-up, they're better off going with fewer channels and stick with good quality speakers, IMO.
But since marketers are slapping 'atmos' stickers on everything now; soundbars, headphones, laptops and even cell phones, there must be suckers out there buying them.

I think a post covid world has completely changed the dynamic of receiver prices
I literally could see a couple of 2-3 year old receivers I have right now for at least what I paid
As for brand new you pretty much pay MSRP for a mid range Denon/Yamaha/Marantz receiver
That was never the case before with receiver deals at 40-50% off MSRP
On the other hand we still see discounting on speakers
The dynamic is different in a post Covid landscape

Like, are the speakers any better, or are you only gaining those two up-firing channels?
