Home theater completed

[marine1]

I finally finished my home theater.
3 months and it's done. Well, I just have to fix the starlights in the ceiling bulkheads, but that's a small thing.

What I have noticed snd this is my opinion, Auro 3d out performs atmos, in my opinion.
I have 2 sets of height speakers in the ceiling.
Running 11 channels and 1 sub.

Tested a lot of media, and I think this really is the best sounding option.

Thoughts?

Nice - can’t answer you, but jealous

Room pretty large?

I am running the following:
1 Klipsch centre - may be too small but it packs a punch
Klipsch R-800F fronts
Monitor Audio Silver FX 7G - surrounds
Monitor Audio Silver FX 7G - rears
Polk HTS 12 sub - incredible sound
4 x hieghts - nothing spectacular but they work
Denon X4800H - Amp
HEOS dedictaed system (not using the Denon amp)
So its 11 ch and 1 sub
Running the rear heights on a separate amp as the Denon only processes 11ch and cant power 11 speakers, only 9.

Room is 7m x 5m so its quite large
I am running an Epson HD projector, want to upgrade to lasewr but not now, cant really see the need, this Epson in incredible

Auro3D is mostly faking 5.1 content into Spatial Audio, since there is very little content available with native support.

As such I wouldn’t be surprised if you find it “better” because it’s just really doing what it wants to do and not staying true to the source.

Like a tech demo that tries too hard.

Dolby Atmos by far has more support, but also in most cases tries to remain natural and realistic and I have a feeling you love it to be overbearing and in your face instead.

I agree with what you have said, the main thing is the sides and rears as well as the heights are a bit more in your face, so you get a constant surround and atmos sound most of the time as opposed to Atmos only when its needed or supplied to you if that makes sesne?

Yup you are confirming exactly what I suspect and that is more likely because the Auro3D is just mixing the 5.1 soundtrack and therefore more consistent across the board.

Dolby Atmos by comparison is likely running natively and as such is going to depend entirely on the source and how they used it.

In that regard comparing music is going to be a better bet as generally music uses all the channels all the time, whereas movies will intentionally mute them until and environmental effect is required.

Think about it logically. It’s all about sound object placement, not just making a noise all the time. You don’t want sound coming out of your vertical channels at all unless there is rain or something flying overhead because you want to specifically notice that when it happens.

Try Pentatonix - Hallelujah in Dolby Atmos and then get back to me.

Thanks we are doing the main bulkhead this week, not happy with the result, but I saved a ton of money doing this all myself and some guys.
Took long but was worth it, last night we watched Judge Dread in Auro3D sound, its like watching it for the first time.
Such incredible sound, its better than any cinema I have been to

Congratulations.

Thank you, have ordered more starlights today from China, so we going to start the main bukhead again from scratch, im not happy with it curently, so all in all should have about 1000 starlights. Its going to be epic.
The sound on Auro3D is intense and incredible, I am struggling to find REAL Atmos media, Youtube only offer 5.1 and its not real - according to the "experts"
