Here is a pic of Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 set-up..

If i remember your room correctly (14 x 11, facing 14feet wide all), your listening position is slightly infront of backwall.. So your top front speaker position would be better if it is positioned towards your listening position.. Should help for top rear too..

Something like this would help you position them.. (Pic is Taga Harmony in-ceiling RB650).. You may consider any brand like these in your budget..

Hi,

Is there a fixed budget for all 4 speakers or sky is the limit?

Which speakers sound better in Atmos, Inceiling or normal speaker mounted under ceiling. Few FM have mentioned that Inceiling speakers produces vibration. Little off the topic but helpful....

Not very sure.. With regular speakers, it will be facing your ears.. More vertical.. With in-ceiling speakers, guess it will be more horizontal coverage..

Few FM have mentioned that Inceiling speakers produces vibration.

For heights, you will set the speakers to SMALL in AVR and use it with a crossover.. Chances of speaker producing bass is less.. So shouldn't be a concern..

Budget is max 6-7k per speaker @efernand1

@elangoas i won’t be sitting in the center of the room, I will be towards the rear of the room. How should the speakers be placed?

I’m looking for tiltable tweeters so I can position them towards me while at my sitting space.

Most AVRs are capable handling a variety of impedance....be it 4 or 6 or 8 ohms..... since you have the SR6012.....i would go for these speakers and make a small housing for them in the false ceiling that would be made....

These have high SPL, 3 way design and supposedly deliver frequencies between 31hz - 35khz.........

There are also other brands like Blaupunkt which have similar speakers....based on your budget, you can decide.....

Most of the ceiling speakers come with a plastic housing ready to fit.....technical...its almost like car speakers being fitted with a casing and sold.....

You can make the mini cabinets for these to be placed on the ceiling with a slight angle tilt towards your seating area...

The above image (as example) still applies to you.. Your listening position would approx be slightly before the surr speakers (5)..

You need to position the the top front ceiling speakers tweeter facing your listening position.. So kind of an acute angle..

For top rear speakers, you can turn the tilted ceiling speaker sideways.. left & right facing the listening position..

I will try to send you images, one the tweeter position..

I would prefer Tilted option instead inceiling.

I can't do tilted speakers since I have a false ceiling and I have already decided on inceiling speakers. Which brand is now the question.

I am using Monitor Audio Pro65 6inch in-ceiling speakers ,but my setup is MA based

 

[Deleted member 38504]

Thanks @tapmal5 would be nice if you can tell me from where and if comfortable, for how much. Also can the tweeters be angled or tilted?

 

[filmguy]

has anyone here tried DNM audio ? they have some inceiling speakers for 2k to 5k per pc but no reviews online. it would be good to encourage made in India products but without real testing can only depend on word of mouth

Hi

I used DNM Audio in the old days.......its decent enough like Norge or Pace etc......

You can visit Dev Pro Sales near Lamington Road Police Station (Grant Road East) where they have DNM and other speakers on display....

@celester340 I bought monitor audio MASS 5.0 for Surrounds and Atmos.
Recently I took Dali Faizon 5.0 audition ; it was sounding very good, of course it was supported by Twin Subs of JH Labs which added to the effects. I might have picked Dali if I was able to get audition earlier.

If all your other components are very premium like Tannoys and Avantage etc go for decent branded setup for HT as well. Polk OWM3 or OWM5 are decent performers for satellite and Atmos duties, with wall brackets allowing some degree of angulation. Kindly check those options.

Fronts- def tech sm45
Center - golden ear
Rear surrounds- JBL arena
Subwoofer- not decided the brand yet
Atmos- again , still undecided.

AVR is a Marantz SR6012.

https://www.monitoraudio.com//en/product-ranges/pro/pro-65/ . I bought them from Amazon.com in a Prime day sale in a lot of 5, while my reseller quoted around 8k per piece

 

[Deleted member 38504]

Thanks tapmal, how much did they cost u?

 

[tapmal5]

My cousin bought and brought them from US and has refused to take any money , so till now free. Actually he bought them for me as he was aware i wanted them. Have used 2 in my HT Room and rest all over the house.

I found these over the Blaupunkt India website ..these are 4 ohms.....with 90-92 sensitivity levels...performs across a wide range of frequencies.....can be easily handled by the SR6012 and definitely will sound great.....cost is roughly 2500 - 4000 each.....maybe available cheaper somewhere.....
