[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 928287, member: 13448"] Your question regarding getting better sound from a dedicated receiver and speakers versus the soundbar, the answer is an unquestionable definitely. From the looks of the pictures you have posted it appears as if your most pressing issue is that the screen is not in the centre of the front wall. It appears as if it is to the right making room for the door on its left. You will need to fix this, either by inverting the hinges and having the door open outward or by some or other sliding or concertina door. Since you have a pull down screen it should not matter that it covers part of the door when down. If the screen is centred there is more than enough room for speakers either side of it. I have a dedicated 7.2.4 setup in a 3 x 4m room. You can easily do 5.1.2. The surround speakers are mounted on the side walls either side of the couch. If you get bi/dipoles for surrounds it will scatter the sound and you will get a fuller surround sound and it will not sound if the surround effects are only coming from the sides. Atmos speakers go in-ceiling. If you get an AVR with room correction such as Audyssey it will set up the speaker volume and delays to eliminate the effect of the sloping ceiling (and thus the fact that one Atmos speaker will be lower than the other). The Atmos speakers also should be no further apart than the arm rests of you couch, so the height difference will not be the 40cm's you have at the extreme opposite sides of the ceiling. Your couch is too close to the rear wall for 7.1. 5.1.2 will give you much better results. I won't comment on the brand of receiver to get as each person thinks that the brand that he/she owns is the best. All I will say is make sure it has Audyssey :giggle: [/QUOTE]
