Last week, I got to spend some "quality" time with my system, Sierra LX's up front, HTM-200SE's for surrounds, Rythmik F15HP sub. It's just a 5.1 system with an Anthem AVM 70 and VTV multichannel amp consisting of three Purifi 1ET400A modules for the LXs and a Hypex NC252MP for the surrounds.
The system sounds great, but I decided to listen to some of Apple Music's spatial sound playlists via Apple TV. These are designed for Atmos playback, and since I don't have and Atmos system, the AVM 70 just redistributed the output to 5.1.
It was a great time...I had a lot of fun listening for about an hour or so dedicated to spatial music listening. There was another hour of just the mains and sub, and that is always great.
I enjoy multichannel music, but you have to have the time to just sit in the sweet spot and listen. Apple's spatial stuff is really nice, but I really wonder who will take the time to enjoy it.
