Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The Onkyo SKH-410 is a pair of Dolby Atmos-enabled upward-firing speaker modules designed to add height channels to a home theater setup. One user paired them with an Onkyo TX-RZ730 receiver and found the height channel levels were initially set too low. After manually raising those levels, the same user described the effect as transformative, saying it felt like watching familiar 4K Blu-rays for the first time. This suggests proper receiver calibration is important to unlock the module's full Atmos effect. Another prospective buyer expressed interest in using the SKH-410 to start an Atmos setup but voiced hesitation about upward-firing speakers, noting that some listeners dislike the upfiring approach.
