HiRez Poll Beatles, The - ABBEY ROAD (Dolby Atmos Mix) [Blu-Ray Audio]

[Strilo]

I’ve done three solid listens today of the Atmos mix on my Yamaha RX-V 2085 and it’s just stunning. A solid 10 no question. It’s even more than I could have wished for. I like it more and more each listen. Songs I didn’t anticipate being remarkable in surround are all encompassing (Sun King). During the closing section of I Want You, I actually exclaimed out loud “it’s taking over my living room!”

Blown away. I only have three so far, but this is easily the best Atmos mix I’ve ever heard. Oh and....

Paul’s bass!

Don't really know what Atmos is. I'm playing the blu ray on my Oppo 203. I can hear surround sound coming from all of the speakers, yet how is this different than the 5.1 mix? Somebody enlighten me.

Hows your speakers set up 7 1 4 ie 4 height channels?.

Atmos mix is top of the polls nobody will take it off top spot.

Five speakers and the subwoofer - a standard 5.1 rig with the Oppo and a Marantz AV Surround receiver.

You will not hear the atmos mix it downconverts to 5.1 Dolby True HD Core. You need to vote in the 5.1 Poll

I haven't voted in this poll. I guess what I'm asking is what one needs to hear the Atmos mix.

oh sorry you need a Receiver capable of Atmos and then depending on how much you want to spend maybe 7 speakers and sub plus 2 or 4 height speakers which can either be wall mounted at or near ceiling height or actually in the ceiling

Or upward firing speakers, instead of heights!

Ok, this is my first time voting in the Quad Polls that I've cherished for all of these years!
The Beatles Abbey Road Blu-ray is why I upgraded my system this summer to Atmos and to join QuadraphonicQuad.com. I've enjoyed Kraftwerk and REM in Atmos but they didn't blow me away. I own several other Atmos music disks that are okay.

Abbey Road in Atmos surround is the best use of surround sound that I've ever heard. It blows me away! It is so much more than what I was expecting. The quality of the recordings, mix, and songs are excellent. The box set is excellent. = 10.

I would rather the Blu-ray disk would wait for me to select the audio format rather than missing the beginning of Come Together and having to replay the track to hear it from the beginning. I would rather have a nice protective case for the disk vs the cardboard sleeve. That is it. No other quibbles...

This disk sets the Atmos music standard so high that I fear it will take a long time before we get anything comparable. If they remix Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon into Atmos we'll have a contender... and honestly, as good a job that was done with this disk, the job should be handed over to Giles Martin!

There needs to be a higher score than 10!

I'm enjoying the Atmos much more on this listen. I have the volume lowered around 7db, from normal, allowing the room to breath a lot more.
Anyone else experience this?

 

[Mcallister]

Have you considered room treatments?

Have you considered room treatments?

When everything else I listen to does not need it? No.

 

[lennon fan]

I voted a 9 but it's reductive to 5 channels, sorry if you only want 7 channel reviews, feel free to cancel my vote)

 

[Strilo]

Does your receiver support Atmos?

I am in the process of moving my rear heights back toward the corners of the room, per an earlier suggestion. I'll be splitting the difference between Atmos and Auro specs.

Thats funny we are moving house and will be putting in Auro 3D specs and hoping Atmos sounds ok.
