I have these as the rear channels in my home theater system (all Chane except the atmos speakers) and find them to be excellent. Even on challenging mixes (i.e. Baby Driver) they perform extremely well. These days with more active object based surround mixes it's worth putting bigger boxes in the surround stations.

DmavChane doesn't offer Atmos speakers so I bought some Elacs which sit nicely on top of the floor standers. My sub is a Paradigm Defiance X15. If I were to do my system again I'd still buy the Chanes but I'd install 4 Atmos speakers in the ceiling. This would be far more effective and immersive than the angled up firing Elacs.

DeviltoothYea, I currently have the 2 upfiring and am planning the same. The Emotiva, svs prime, and Klipsch RP Atmos are some options. Deciding between Chane or Emotiva for the front center and surround..

DmavThe agony of choice. When I was looking I also considered Emotiva, KEF, XTZ, SVS, RBH and Monitor Audio (and a few other internet direct vendors). The problem these days is hearing the speakers themselves. I managed it with KEF and Monitor Audio. I remember deciding against SVS because I didn't want too bright a treble (in many reviews they are described that way). In the end I'm very happy with the Chanes; Jon Lane was a pleasure to deal with and I do believe Chane offers great bang for the buck (a necessary quality in this price range). That doesn't mean the other speakers aren't great options. I've noticed that new materials and methods of manufacture have improved speakers across the board. Everything has gotten better than it was even 5 years ago.

DeviltoothAgony of choice indeed.. I’ve narrowed it down to the Chane 5.5, 1.5, 2.4 or Emotiva T2+, C1+, E2+, but sales like this keep me shifting back and forth between the 2 brands..
