Home Dolby Atmos is largely bullshit marketing. You need speakers built into your ceiling and walls to get proper Dolby Atmos, I know people think their $1000 sound bar is the greatest thing ever, but if you put it next to a good theater's 50k+ real Atmos sound system, the difference will be night and day.

Sound bars don't even compare to proper home theater 5.1 systems in most cases, I had a 5.1 home setup like 20 years ago that's well beyond what pretty much any sound bar of today could do. But you have to commit to having large speakers, a large subwoofer, real rear speakers and get all that wired properly to a good main amp.
