I had a 7.1 setup for a number of years and then upgraded it to a 7.x.4 (7 surround, 4 height speakers (2 front, 2 rear, wall-mounted angled downwards) and 3 subs/4 couch shakers)
I found that the height speakers for atmos didn't make a huge difference, especially if there isn't much separation between the fronts/rears you already have. If you're using small bookshelf speakers you might notice the bigger difference, but even with the back ones you don't want to be right up against the wall.
Switching from wall-mounted atmos to ceiling-mounted made a huge difference though.
If you can rig a wooden shelf on the wall and mount the speakers (down-firing) from that.. basically using a shelf on a wall as if it were the ceiling, then I'd definitely recommend it. I've also heard that there are frames you can use (a crossbar with 2 stands, similar to a photography backdrop-stand) that you can use to mount atmos speakers as if it were to a ceiling, but I haven't tried those before.

With that said.. a lot of newer 7.2 setups can be set up as either 7.2 or 5.2.2 (basically 5.1.. but with 2 height channels). If you have the Denon model #, I'm happy to see what it supports!
A few things to look for: 5.1.2 or 5.2.2 in the settings/setup, "Height" settings or "Atmos" will generally mean it can take advantage of the height (ceiling/wall speakers), but if it's a standard 5.1 / 7.2 setup, you probably won't benefit from having these at all
These will make for perfect height speakers to match the rest of my Klipsch RP gear.
If given the option I still prefer DTS:X but not many sources provide native tracks. I also like the DTS upmixing compared with Dolby. But that is all personal preference.
Maybe i am just biased because I have a Sony OLED which came with the Bravia Core app. Mostly a useless streaming app but I did have 10 credits to use on movies. BC strongly supports IMAX DTX which - again in my opinion - is phenomenal sound! And BC also supports lossless video streaming rates which is pretty cool.

Appreciate your help! I have the Denon AVR-S760H. It looks like it does support 5.1.2.
It will typically let you select Front or Rear heights (and in some cases Side or Center). "Front Height" will definitely give you the best results, I've found. Atmos channels seem to have more activity in the front-heights than the rear-heights.
One last note, and it's probably obvious, but these receivers will typically let you use 5.1.2 (5 surrounds + 2 heights) or 7.1 (7 surrounds). My personal experience: I prefer the 7 surrounds, especially if the heights are going to be wall-mounted instead of in-ceiling. It might be worth looking into both if you're on the fence between them!
I "upgraded" my 7.1 setup to a 5.1.2 setup and missed the 2 extra surrounds, so I went back (and spent considerably more 😂 ) to get a 7.1.4 setup instead. The heights are definitely nice to have, and I think 7.1.2 is probably the sweet spot between value & money spent.
Most of what I do though, is movie watching -- so if you're using it for games or tv you might have a totally different experience!
These do give you depth in the front, but not much in the rear....
No these are designed for two different "Atmos" setups.
You can use them as enabled modules, just like their built in ones in their FA models.
You can also use them in a height position for "Atmos" or surrounds.
As described there is a "Switchable Crossover Setting for Dolby Atmos or Surround Sound" that you set depending on which you are using.
How well they perform can vary widely especially as modules.

If you're trying to improve sound performance, thee biggest influence are the quality of your speakers imo.
Atmos is built on top of your core speakers(5/7/9.1).
Having the best core speakers is critical for optimal Atmos performance imo.
The most optimal design is overhead placement(2 pairs), everything else is an alternative to that for people that can't/won't follow that imo.

Wow. I want to watch a movie at your house.
I have another pair that works that way, and believe this has the same type of setup?
Typically the up-firing will be the least-preferred of the atmos options, followed by the on-wall (up high, angled down towards the listener) and then the in-ceiling ones. I don't believe these ones are intended to be used on the ceiling, but I've had no issues with attaching the sony CORE series atmos speakers to a ceiling (even though those were also only recommended for up-firing or on-wall).

Trick is up atmos speakers +5 decibels to whatever audessy or dirac puts them at after calibration... I run svs prime elevations with psa mt210s and dual 21in subs. 5.2.4 Love it
Definitely had to up them! Mine are ceiling mounted facing down and still had to up the output quite a bit, but it made a huge difference and sounds great now!
