HI

i will be buying 4 chane music 5.4 speakers as rears as fronts
a chane music 2.4 centre
using a denon 4400 amp
plus 2 other chane 2.4 as additional rears

but what about for height channels for atmos dtsx auro 3d
woud the svs prime elevation speakers be a very good match for the rest of the speakers
or would i be still better of using an additional 4 chane 2.4 speakers as atmos duties

or any other in ceiling to get maximum performance from this setup

also would the parasound a21 be a very good amp to use with the denon 4400
to enhance the audio of the 2 front speakers would it be a great match with the chane speakers

also i want to add a chane 3600 amplifier to this setup
and use 2 svs sb16 ultra subs
and 2 chane sbe 118 subs as well again will they work extremely well together with this setup thanks

If you want "max" or optimum performance, use the Chane for all speakers and keep with same series if possible, you want timbre matching to create the surround bubble.

The A21 is a great value and performer. I'm really not familiar with Chane so can't comment on the match. The A21 is a fairly neutral sounding amp with good current for control and drive.

With that being said, and, keeping with the optimum surround experience, keep your amp brands the same. You want the same sonic signature from all channels. Parasound has a couple of multichannel amps. You could probably get away with the lesser powered MC amp for Atmos and surround duty.

Can you use a different brand high speaker and mix brands of amps, sure it's possible. Will you notice, depends on how much attention you pay to the sound when watching. However, as I stated, and, you requested, max would be all amplification and speakers matching to maintain timbre matching for seamless panning of sound.

Not knowing how much the 4400 costs, or, if you already have it, I will suggest you may want to consider a Marantz surround processor.
