Auditioning
In my opinion, to achieve the "Ultimate Home Theater Experience", you will need an AV receiver that can deliver at a high level. The most realistic Dolby Atmos AV receiver is one that can create a truly immersive 3D sound experience in your home theater. To achieve the best Dolby Atmos performance, you'll want a 9 or 11 channel AV receiver that has the processing power to handle object-based audio. This allows sounds to be precisely placed and moved around a 3D space, including overhead channels for height effects. The receiver should support Dolby Atmos decoding and have Dolby Surround Upmixing to get the most from Blu-ray movies with Dolby Atmos soundtracks. You'll need Dolby Atmos enabled speakers or add-on height channels mounted on the ceiling to take full advantage.
Higher-end models from brands like Denon, Marantz and Yamaha offer the best sound quality and most convincing overhead effects. Audyssey room correction helps calibrate the sound to your unique room acoustics. Key features that contribute to a realistic Atmos experience include 4K video passthrough, high-resolution audio decoding, HDMI 2.1 compatibility, and ample wattage for powering a 5.1.2 or 7.1.4 speaker setup. While entry-level options exist, investing in a mid-range or higher AV receiver will ensure robust Dolby Atmos performance that truly immerses you in 3D sound, making movies, music and games come alive with realism.
