The main speakers were Craig Eggers (Director of Content Creation and Playback, Home Theater Ecosystem), Brett Crockett (Senior Director, Sound Technology Research), and Joshua Gershman (Public Relations Manager). Before, between and after the demos, we were given the chance to ask questions to several Dolby reps. The home theater version of Atmos is ready to go, it works as advertised, and HT fans who upgrade to it will no doubt be very pleased with the results. Depending on your own room characteristics (super-tall cathedral ceilings may pose a significant challenge), most viewers in average-sized rooms should find that option quite satisfying. I felt that the version using discrete ceiling speakers sounded best, but the upward-firing ground speakers were no slouch either and were a pretty convincing substitute.
