I was thinking about a 5.1.2 atmos system but don't want to install ceiling speakers
I thought I would use front height speakers, oriented toward listening position
I've read some posts (on other forums) that front height were not part of the "atmos specs"
So can I enjoy atmos soundtrack with front height in a 5.1.2 setup?

Thanks

    SVS maket a prime elevation speaker and then there are some that bounce the sound off the ceiling. I'd go with the elevation speakers first

    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    should those Elevation from SVS be used as Front height then?
    Or as surround?
    Or both?

    Personally running RTI A1’s for front heights. Work pretty well with both DTSX and ATMOS.
