[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 877177, member: 13448"] All the info you need is here: [url=https://www.dolby.com/us/en/guide/dolby-atmos-speaker-setup/7-1-4-setups.html]https://www.dolby.com/us/en/guide/dolby-atmos-speaker-setup/7-1-4-setups.html[/url] If your room is 4.2m x 4m, I think 2 sets of side surrounds are overkill. Let's say a chair is 1 meter tip of back rest to tip of seat. You will have 2 rows of seats with at least 0.5m in-between for leg space. This takes up 2.5m already of the 4.2m room length. Then you need to have at least 0.5m between the back chair to the back wall in order to allow for rear surrounds to be bolted to the back wall. That is then 3m and it only leaves 1.2m from the front seat to the screen. Remember for Atmos to work as intended, all surrounds must be ear level. If you mount surrounds higher than that you will not get the "sound lift" effect that makes Atmos effective. My room is exactly the same length as yours. I only managed to get a single row of seats in there. I have a 7.2.4 setup with a 120 inch screen. [/QUOTE]
