in Speakers
Looking to bring in some ceiling mounted speakers to get "real" feel for Atmos set up. I currently have a 9.2 home theater. The processor is Marantz 7702 MKii. I have been very happy with the set up, but do feel that when watching Dolby Atmos tracks/movies, the system does not punch out a well defined 3D sound effect.
On the current set up, the four surrounds are FXi A6. The front heights are RTi A3. All four surrounds are about 2 ft above ear level, while the height speakers are almost 4 -5 ft above ear level. The processor can add two more channels. So thinking about going from current 9.2 set up to a 7.2.4 set up.
I am looking on-line and Polk Audio 80 F/X-RT comes up on a few forums. What do you guys say? I am a complete newbie for this type of speakers. I have some work cut out for me to get some education. Budget is about $500.00 for a pair for now. Please let me know your thoughts.

You may want to consider the 90-RT or 70-RT (if you have the depth needed). For atmos duties i believe its a better option.

the 80F/X RT are good, that is what I use. If I could do it all over I'd just get VC60.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.

What is the VC60?LSiM 703s in home office. Building a home theater and looking for LSiM 706, 703, 705 and 707s right now. -
I'm pretty sure he means the Polk Audio MC60
