    Dolby Almos surround enabled and I find these speakers just good enough to listen to my favorite vinyl records. I am starting a home theater and connected these to my sony receiver. Not so much good sound quality but a promising start for a mini home theater.

    I’ll be honest at first I was skeptical. You’re telling me all I have to do it put these on top of my tower speakers and they will produce overhead speaker-like sound?! But they do!! It’s very cool to hear helicopters flying overhead!

    These fit perfectly sitting on the matching Sony SSCS5 bookshelf speakers adding a decent 3D/overhead Atmos soundstage to your home theater. Don't expect miracles though, results vary depending on your ceiling height and distance from the speakers but if you find a sweet-spot they do add enough to justify the purchase.

    Great for a small home theater setup. Use more for atmos toppers on either bookshelf or floor speakers. Not primarily Great for large rooms with tall ceilings but perfect addition for a smaller to mid size room. Completed my 5.2.2

    Great for the final touch. Picked these up on sale for half price at BB. At that price they are the perfect final addition to your atmos setup. At double the price, i might put the money into something with more impact.

    Went with timbre match 6 ohm Sony Core Series speakers for a 5.2.4 configuration. A little salty when you could easily buy a baffle and a midrange and assemble yourself. They allow for flexible installations ether sitting atop a speaker or wall mounted.

    There’s usually a good deal on these and the other Sony speakers every few months and I finally caved and got them a few weeks ago. I might have them a little low and too close to ceiling panels to really appreciate the full atmos effect, but they do add a lot of height to the sound stage. Easy to hang.

    Atmos speakers at not a bad cost. These are great as I can use them in upfiring/reflecting mode and then mount them to the wall later near the ceiling to point at the seating area.

    These are built like a truck and put out good sound for their size. However, I couldn't get them to provide any real Atmos functionality without mounting them on the wall - which I didn't want to do. I got these on a half price sale. I wouldn't pay full price for these.

    I don’t have the ability to have in ceiling speakers and these have been very surprising. They really need to have at least 1-2 dB increase on your avr to really shine through. There is a scene in The Punisher on Netflix where the ceiling gets shot with a shotgun and man it really replicated that sound. Give them a try.
