Thanks for all that advice guys, I really appreciate you taking the time. Looking at all the options I think I'm going to go for B&W CCM665's as the height speakers with a Marantz PM6006 for the additional 2 atmos channels. Good tip on the cabling and speakers boxing though. I'd not really...

We're having a load of work done to the house and at the moment that room is just a block- work shell; no plasterboard anywhere. I'm running the cables through a cut out wall cavity then through the ceiling timbers. I wouldn't know how to do it if the ceiling was already there.

Thanks Big Boss, that's a great help.

Thanks Big Boss. So just to clarify; you simply connected all the cables, set the amp's volume to the 2 o'clock and run audyssey?

Hi guys, I'm looking at adding 4 ceiling atmos speakers (B&W CCM665's) to my 7.1 setup (7 B&W M1's and a BK Monolith Plus). I've got a Marantz SR7010 reciever which powers 9 channels so to get all 11 surrond channels working I need an additional amp to run the last two. Any recommendations on...

I've currently got my rear and side speakers right up in the angle of wall and ceiling with the cables running through the loft space. Ideally I want to lower them to nearer ear height so I can get some separation when I eventually mount height channel speakers in the ceiling. I don't especially...

I'd love to go for 4 but I think room layout means I won't have too much space behind the MLP so likely just two. Denon AVR-X6300H is very appealing though

Budget of upto £2500

I'm currently running a 7.1 (with rear surrounds) system off a Sony STR-DN1040 receiver and looking to upgrade to add atmos. I've got an BK electronics XXLS400 sub and the surrounds are all second generation B&W M1's and I'm looking to add a pair of B&W CCM664 ceiling speakers. Any advice on...

Anyone got any thoughts on the Sony BDP-S7200? Looking to upgrade and would ideally like a Sony to match my amp but I'm not a fan of this pyramid design of the other units. I'm struggling to find reviews of it.

Thanks for the advice Bigboss - the Panasonic it is then.

How does it compare to the Sony BDP-S6200?

Thanks Bigboss and good point about the settings. I wouldn't want to go above £250 unless it would make a hugely significant difference.

I'm looking to upgrade from an original PS3 (the fat one) to a dedicated blu-ray player. I'm not interested in 4k upscaling as I'll let the TV do it when I eventually get to changing that too; probably in the new year. Budget isn't really an issue and the rest of my system is as follows...
