“I use only ROKU and Spotify. My LG OLED is 5 years old, and has an HDMI ARC port and an optical audio port (no eARC) What are the limitations of Dolby Atmos and the overall sound experience with my set up?”

The ROKU and LG OLED must be capable of outputting Atmos signaling, however, this Ambeo Soundbar Plus has this 3d virtualization feature that's (IMHO) incredible. I have a Sony A80k which is pretty current and it has Earc and Dolby Vision +, dts-x and the like, but the Ambeo's 3d virtualization is really pretty phenominal. My living room space is unbalanced, but I've run the calibration and in watching any programming that is ATMOS enabled, I can hear things that make me turn my head quite often as if there's a speaker in a place where there is no physical speaker. The only caveat to that is on lower volumes, it's not as profound, however, when the volume is at 18 or higher on the set, buckle up. I opted to get an SVS wired sub rather than the Sennheiser sub for personal reasons. You might want to consider getting a newer smart LG if that's your preference. You can always get last years model for significantly less than the latest. The B9 series and C10 series are still phenominal sets IMHO and the prices there aren't as prohibitive as the newest sets. Leave the ambeo processing on, make sure you've run the calibration and crank it to 24. That'll help you evaluate what you've got and what you may need to do next if anything at all.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
