Help Wanted - AV Receiver & Atmos Ceiling Speakers

[AndyDStone]

Hi all
I would like to upgrade my existing Monitor Audio Radius system from 5.1 to 5.1.2 Atmos. The two additional Atmos speakers will be installed in the ceiling. However, I would appreciate everyone’s advice on which Monitor Audio ceiling speaker I should purchase; either C265-IDC or C265-FX.

Also, I will need to purchase a new AV receiver and would prefer one from Sony. However, the sound from the DN-1080 is far too bright. Does anyone know if Sony are going to release the new AV receivers (e.g. STR-AZ3000ES) that are about to be released in the States?

Thank you for any responses.

Don’t buy fx for atmos. They are not designed for atmos, the fix disperse sound around you and atmos is supposed to be object based so the sound come from a certain place. If you look on the monitor audio website it advises on that.
