[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 879428, member: 13448"] Just consider the position of the surrounds. Per Dolby's guide, there is a significant difference between the placement of the surrounds in a 5.1 vs 7.1 setup. If you leave the side surrounds in your 7.1 set as an example and remove the rear surrounds to enable atmos, you will sit with a big hole in the soundstage at the back. I went 5.1 -> 7.1 -> 5.1.4 -> 7.1.4 -> 7.2.4, I tested out a substantial number of combinations. With the rears in the correct position, 5.1.2 will more immersive than 7.1. Also remember the surrounds must be at ear level for Atmos to work as intended. [/QUOTE]
