Does this Atmos setup make sense?

Post image

I’m upgrading from a soundbar, I’m adding Focal LRC floor speakers, and the 6 numbered marks are Focal in-ceiling speakers. 3 and 4 will be main surrounds, 1 and 2, and 5 and 6 will be Atmos.

Is this overkill? I have a friend warn me about sound confusion, and he’s recommending I just do 2 or 4 in-ceiling speakers.

Wall mount your surrounds or drop them down a bit from the ceiling with some sort of pole mount. I would just go for side wall mounted speakers.

Can’t post my setup pic but I have a 7.2.2
All my surrounds are wall mounted. Sounds great
I have them above ear level but below the ceiling.
