Atmos speakers palacement

[Mirko Cognolato]

I currently have an Arendal Sound 1723 7.2 (3×1723 monitor as LCR, 4×1723 surrounds and 2×1723 sub 1V).  I’m going to add four atmos channels and a new power amp this month. Should I get four 1723s boockshelf or four 1723s heights?  What Is the optimal palacement in my room? I attach the project of my room.

Thanks,  Mirko.

Hello,

I found these two site’s helpful for speaker placement.

There are lots of opinions about this. If you have 2 heights, put them above you. for 4 heights, I would calculate 30 degrees forward and backward as well as apart. That makes all speakers separated by 60 degrees, no holes of emptiness. For 6 heights, put one above every bed layer speaker but at least 1 foot away from walls.
