So I have everything else sorted speaker wise and was looking at height speakers front and rear I was recommended the monitor audio mass satellite speakers however I feel I could possibly do better the amp is a yamaha rx a6a not a massive budget and would have to be Wall mounted the space above the door frames to the ceiling is 200 mm which is were they would have to be mounted at the fronts

Next up from the Mass would be Radius 90.

Look at Dali alteco for height speakers, I used them at the front before in installing ceiling speakers.

I had considered these but at 260 mm tall they are too big 200mm is the maximum I can go unfortunately

I've got a pair of these as front heights and they work surprisingly well with Atmos tracks.

Last film I watched that really stood out was Nope. Genuinely sounded like there was stuff going on above me.

Radius 90s are 198mm tall. But that wouldn't leave you room to tilt them.

However, turn a pair on their sides (like centre speaker layout) and you only have a height of 125mm to accommodate. That's plenty small enough to fit them in, mount them on brackets, then tilt and angle them.

Better than Mass spkrs. Small enough to fit. Same family as the main speakers. Job done.
