The height/atmos speakers are definitely worth having imho - particularly given the quality of the AV processor you’re using. I went for Focal domes, firing upwards rather than cutting holes in the ceiling and they work well once the Dirac has been completed.

Hi TBC,
Thanks for the thought, and I had considered doing precisely as you have done …BUT:
The amount of software I have with Atmos is almost zero;
I have NO intention of repurchasing all my thousands of videos, I have FAR more in video storage than audio;
Whilst streaming services do have Atmos the quality of streamed sound is nowhere near as good as my local files.
I haven’t discounted it though. In the not too distant future I am going to have to decorate the living room, when I do this I WILL install some cables to enable upward firing speakers. I am expecting the quality to improve over time.
My more immediate step will probably be to get an UHD TV. I use one as a monitor and for one in my secondary system …but, I am very attached to my widescreen Phillips, even if it is ‘just’ HD.
