Which In-Ceiling Speaker Should I Use for Dolby Atmos?

Q I have a 5.1-channel surround speaker setup in my basement that uses Infinity speakers. Recently, I upgraded my receiver to Denon’s 7.2-channel, Atmos-capable AVR-X2400H.

A company I contacted said they can run wiring through my basement’s ceiling to install a pair of height speakers for Atmos. They recommended Proficient C661s, an in-ceiling model with a built-in 15-degree angle. They also gave me the option of installing a pair of direct down-firing speakers over the viewing area. Here’s my question: Is it better to have overhead speakers that are angled toward the viewer, or ones that fire directly down at the sitting position? Also, should I be mixing different-brand speakers with my existing Infinity system? —Steve Thompson
