I went all in wall for my current surround setup, and I gotta say I'm a bit disappointed. If you can swing it, I would either build in some baffles or find a way to alter the space behind your drywall to enhance the sound characteristics. Or just get regular speakers. Don't get me wrong, it looks really nice, but I ended up getting towers and a center channel instead of my front in walls.

Edit: I'm sure someone is going to come in here and tell me I did something wrong with my setup or something along those lines. I promise, I've tried so many different things, and I had nice speakers. I just personally like the sound out of an enclosed setup.

Yes, but you'll still need to build a box so you're better off purchasing speakers that are ready to mount to upgrade existing speakers.

Definitely Form > Performance for in-wall from my experience. For Atmos/DTS-X it's opposite, in-celing > ceiling/wall mounted. Only exception is if you have an open ceiling/exposed ceiling w/exposed joists you can mount regular speakers to.

I have atmos ceiling speakers. They are great. But I like to listen to music on my setup on every channel, and the enclosed speakers have such a better sound across range than the in wall ones. It's night and day. Honestly, I end up listening to more music than tv watching, and if I had to do it again I would prob just get a hifi, expensive, 2 channel (plus low end) front facing setup. Atmos isn't as impressive to me as everyone claims. I also have some hearing loss from my old job, so that might have something to do with my preferences.

I realize I am talking about two totally different listening experiences, so take my statement at face value. I just won't do in wall speakers again, that's for sure.

Nah it's not just you. I heard this new theater opened up in Chicago with 64 channel (not 64 speakers) Dolby atmos. I was like shooot... Sometimes I lose my sunglasses on my head I don't think I would be able to tell if a sound is coming from one of 64 discrete locations

Yes Dolby Atmos is capable of producing 128 channels using up to 64 speakers.

In a properly implemented surround (speaker or object based) setup, you shouldn't detect where the sound is coming from.

Quality of the speakers and their placement play a big role in performance, even more so for Atmos.

When someone downplays that which often happens, yes your going to think Atmos isn't that big of a deal.

The quality of the content is another important thing to consider but that's out of our hands.

Outstanding speaker! Installed as part of my 7.1 system as a center channel (installed horozontally) under the TV. Love it.

i have used these. they are ok. not great, but not horrible. FYI - don't be fooled by the fake $350 MSRP, they normally sell for 50% off everyday.
