I don’t recommend Dolby Atmos – unless you have this

 

Dolby Atmos is a great audio format, provided you have a proper setup for it. True Dolby Atmos requires a number of things, and the most important thing is speakers. Yes, your soundbar probably says it’s Dolby Atmos capable, but it likely means that in the form of upfiring speakers. That’s a decent compromise, but to really get the most out of Atmos, you need to space out your speakers, including height speakers. How else could you get true directional audio?
