Dolby 5.1.2 Speaker Placement
Jun 26, 2018 Can I run Atmos 5.1.2 with the Atmos modules on top of the Surround L/R speakers instead of the Front L/R speakers? My KEF LS50's that I use as front L/C/R's are slightly rounded on top and the Atmos modules won't fit properly, but they would fit properly on top of the KEF Q100's that I'm looking at adding as L/R Surround speakers.
- Hello everyone, I decided to add 2 KEF Ci50r speakers to my 5.1 set up (Denon AVR-2300W & Jamo A102 speakers) but I'm having trouble finding a definitive answer about the placement for them.

5.1.2 Atmos Speaker Placement
Speaker Placement Church
I have a pair of ceiling mountable speakers (Polk OWM3) and an Atmos ready receiver that I would like to make use of. Here is a “sketch” of my living room. I am wondering where is the best place to put 2 Atmos speakers for a 5.1.2 set up for my Main Two Seats. I put some green circles for a couple of different positions I had in mind.
The Atmos 5.1.2 guide shows the ceiling speakers being ahead of the couch in the overhead but in the side view as being slightly forward of the head. Is it more important to try and keep them centered from my main seating (“Main Two Seats” on my drawing) or matched with the L and R? Should I place them further from the main seating (hard to do on the right since there is a wall there)?
Edit: To eliminate some confusion, some more info: The only area I care about sound is the 'Main Two Seats' of the grey couch. 98% of the time it's just two of us watching. Mkv movies free. The L, R, C, SL, SR are already in place and are similar to what is in the picture that I have updated to more accurately reflect the room as it is now.
I'm really just looking for placement advice for one pair of ceiling speakers for Atmos for my main seating. In the diagram, I have place two pairs of circles (1 and 2) that demonstrate what I had read on placement but was unclear on.
