Atmos Newbie Here Please Help

I do not yet own an Atmos setup, however, from what I've read, the upmixing works really well, (I've not read about DTS:X's upmixing, but, I know your AVR supports this). I would guess, after playing some Atmos/DTS:X discs, you may prefer 5.1.2 over a more "flat" 7.1.

I think it's worth it, I'd probably do it, but, likely to keep 5.1.2 and use the upmixing feature.

Before getting up there, I highly suggest doing some searching on AVSforum for the best placement and angling of your height speakers.

I have yet to experience an Atmos setup, but, people who have rave about it. Since you have everything you need, you should go for it.
