I ahve a client who is looking to do a theater with Atmos, but they want all of the speakers in wall. The only Atmos system I have done was with free standing Golden Ear Speakers, and it sounded amazing. The thing that concerns me is having my front three behind a screen, and they would be the Sonance LCR2's. The front wide left and rights would need to be in-walls, which would probably be LCR's. I don't think I will be able to get the front wides to be on the appropriate 50-70 depress off the primary listening area, since they will be in the side wall. Any ideas? We use Sonance, and I would like to use them all around. I just can't get enough angle out of them. Any tried to use in-ceilings as their front wides?

Why not use their angled in-ceiling LCR's?

There are no wides in an Atmos configuration. Atmos uses the traditional 5.1 or 7.1 layout with 2 or 4 top speakers.

Seriously what's the problem. Do a standard 5-1 or 7.1 with I walls and throw 2 or 4 ceiling speakers in. Problem solved. [Link: dolby.com]

Mount 7 channels at seated ear height, mount 4 in walls up high and fire adjustable tweeters at ceiling... My off-the-cuff thought.

seems pretty clear that without in-ceiling or up-firing speakers you will not get an effective Atmos setup. The pdf on the site referenced by ceid is a good read. [Link: dolby.com]with the prohibition of in-ceiling and the desire to stay all sonance (no upfiring atmos spkrs) consider doing a 9.1 setup instead.

The guys are right in that you'll have to go in-ceiling in order to take advantage of the Dolby Atmos surround upgrade. Model options range from the diffuse-radiating Visual Performance VP62R SST/SUR up to the Cinema SUR1S.

Looking at Atmos 9.2 [Link: dolby.com]I can do my front in-ceilings height, but the front wides must be in-wall. With the Sonance angled LCR in-walls, I won't get appropriate angle to the listening area. The room is 22x42', so it's a large room. My concern was doing the wide speakers in-wall. On my previous 9.2 Dolby Atmos setup, I used Goldenear speakers on stands, so the angle was not the problem.
