I have just bought the Eltax Monitor ATM up-firing Dolby Atmos speakers and need some advice in getting then set up;

First off, Aydessey gave the following results;

Distance = 2.37 m. Now I know that the measurements from Aydessey are not actually “distance” but the time it takes to reach the sitting position but, if I measure from the Atmos speakers to the ceiling and then from there to my seated position it’s more like 4.10 m. So, which do you think I should set the distance to? Should I leave as Aydessey suggests or at the distance I measured?

Crossover = Aydessey sets this at 250. I have read that some set as low as 70 but the general consensus is that Atmos speakers should be set higher (as Aysessey) as the higher frequencies perform better. So, thoughts?

I’ve tried adjusting to each of the above settings but don’t really see any difference.

So, can anyone give any thoughts and advice in getting these speakers to integrate into my system? I love the sound I have from my system. I just need that Atmos effect. Thanks.
 
I have the Klipsch RP-500SA. They are fine speakers, but I find that the Atmos tracks have much to be desired. My take-away on Atmos is "Meh".
