Your results are about what I would have assumed although I thought the surround backs would be more 'active' to compensate for the absence of rear height channels. So then here is the 54-dollar question, if you had a 7.1 and could only add front height channels (no back height channels) would...

I agree which goes back to one of my original questions. Would the height and mains blend to the point where there is a 'matrixed' soundstage or would the height speakers be too localized and call attention to themselves in just a 7.1.2 set up? I'm hoping this is what @CMonster could discern...

But even if we are not naturally inclined to pinpoint sound above us there has to be some psychological effect of the larger sound field. Does this also mean height speakers need to run 'hot' in a system to make the most impact?

Thanks for that response, it is about exactly what I was wondering. I keep hearing that a 5.1.4 is a better sounding set up than 7.1.2 because the sound is more 3D. I'm pretty hard wired into 7.1 right now. It would be much easier for me to convert to 5.1.4 than 7.1.4 because I could convert...

So I have updated the display and of course we all know the upgrade bug is usually not cured by just one purchase. Now I am hunting a new processor so I can enjoy all the new digital surround formats available. I currently have a 7.1 config which I plan to keep but I am wondering if the atmos...

I have noticed that other 'influencers' are reporting updates on Caleb so it seems this thing is going to drag out in legal issues for some time.

That's right! I distinctly remember you saying how much you could immediately recognize which sets were OLED whenever you walked through (best buy) so that got me paying attention to them. Now everything else pales in comparison. I nurtured the seed you planted sir!

Oh, and @Botch in a roundabout way this is all your fault!

I had been knocking the idea of getting a new display for the basement for a while and it finally seemed as good of an idea now as any, so the wife suggested I call it my retirement gift. So I gave in to peer pressure and it resulted in a 77" LG C4 OLED. Thought it would be a good idea now to...

They have been big down here in the south for years. I think a good comparison would be they are the baseball equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters.

So if you bob your head to the beat would that make the sound fade in and out?

While you're at it you should make an infinite baffle sub!

Cook's Illustrated is great! This is funny to me cause I was just cleaning out a closet in my basement and came across a trove of old S&V mags. If anyone has a use for them you are welcome. (Near Mint condition :p)

I'm here for you if you need additional storage space!

So you are amazed that a military application performed as intended?
