Should be fine with any Atmos/DTS X AVR.VaLLiancE and anyone else with tech knowledge: With the ‘3D audio’ and whatever else they are calling the audio capabilities of next-gen, what are the requirements for a receiver to take full advantage of it?
What about speakers? Do you need special Atmos enabled speakers? I seen a good way to get it is to find some upward firing speakers but can't seem to find many in my area.
Pioneer has Atmos speakers for a great price.

Quoting bullzeye here, but any suggestions on speakers? And any other current receiver suggestions?
I’m in the early stages of building a new man-cave, so I need suggestions on everything.

Don't buy a AVR in 2020 if you want HDMI 2.1.
Hey all I got myself a new surround system! Got a pioneer vsx 304 and polk audio surround.
I'm currently a little drunk experimenting with the subwoofer, just listening to some DNB the thing that's driving me crazy is the bass sounds better when I'm standing up moving around the room as opposed to sitting down, I haven't done a proper calibration as it took a couple nights to setup all the speakers.
I guess what I'm getting at is how does everyone place their subwoofers? I've read so many conflicting theories and blah blah, it's currently in a corner slightly off parallel with the walls with a foam pad underneath, placing on the hardwood floors makes no difference.
I guess it sounds a bit more balanced in the sitting position as opposed to sitting at my table which is close to the sub but sounds pretty banging. Love the new system it's insane.
