Hi there, sorry for long post
I have Monitor Audio Si.ver 200s, the smaller silver centre and a motley collection of radius 90s and 200s to make a 7.1 setup. (REL or Velodyne sub) Also downsized my amp interms of power, from an older Yamaha to Denon 1800 as in smaller room and that AVR has all the bells and whistles for PC gaming. Going to buy a 4k player to upgrade blu ray, but I have not had an atmos setup before.
2 questions if someone can help, first is simply will I notice anything at all sound wise by not matching speakers and not buying the MA Silver Atmos? . I suspect not given what they do and they will be mounted on the floorstanders anyhow so fire at the roof, but just want to check if anyone got any strong views. MA would be neater, if they fit, but seen some Polks secondhand that are 500 quid less, could put that difference to the rear FX Silvers or some wall mounted rears. I have noted a set of KEFs on ebay for 400 as well.
Second, and more importantly should I just bite the bullet and ceiling mount? Looks like MA ceilings will cost about same all in as new dedicated Atmos ones in room.
Cheers for any reply if you have got this far !
