I utilized the keyhole brackets for the surrounds but did find that the keyhole size was smaller than my personal surrounds, so I had to use a Dremel® tool to grind down the screw heads a little for them to fit. Added Features (Highlight comment joshuacooper 02.07.2008 15:55:14 blank) There are a several features that are standard on the System 2200 that are rare in this price range. The center channel (2200 C) has two features that help optimize it according to the room acoustics. First, it has a “High Frequency 1 Energy” control which changes the “tilt or roll-off slope” of the tweeter. This control has 3 settings: 1. “Reverberant” (decreases the high frequency output of the speaker) for rooms with an abundance of reflective surfaces like hardwood floors and glass walls. 2. “Damped Room” (increases slightly the tweeter’s output) which can compensate for overly absorbent rooms with lots of soft surfaces. 3. “Average” which worked well for my room which has a combination of large glass windows as well as large couches and carpeting. Second, it has “Boundary Compensation” or “Normal” toggle switch which is able to “adjust the lower frequency output of the speaker to compensate for the typical sound colorations caused by placing the speaker too close to a TV screen or building it into a wall cabinet”. I found the best position for my setting (center channel on a bracket slightly above a 62” DLP) was “Normal”. The surround speakers have both a “Dipole” setting as well as a “Bipole” setting. Atlantic Technology has always focused on multi-channel systems, and they felt that having an option of Dipole was necessary to produce “minimal localization”. (Highlight comment joshuacooper 02.07.2008 15:55:27 blank) I found that the dipole setting worked very well at allowing the soundstage to blend seamlessly. My Wife was also impressed with the seamless sound production. The Bipole setting changed the sound stage by focusing it more distinctly at each surround speaker as opposed to blending it. It would be nice if the selectable controls were easier to access. Once the speakers are on the wall, it can be difficult to reach the Dipole/Bipole switch, and if the center channel is built into the wall, it can be hard to access its controls too, since all of them are next to the speaker terminals. This challenge is obviously not limited to these speakers alone. Performance Let me start by quoting Atlantic Technology in regards to this series: (Highlight comment joshuacooper 02.07.2008 15:55:31 blank) “The attractive system sets a new standard for the company for high performance at modest cost.” (Highlight comment joshuacooper 02.07.2008 15:55:38 blank) I would like to expand on this and say that not only would I agree with their statement in regards to their own company, but any company in existence producing compact home theater speakers. There will always be some limitations when producing “compact” speakers that are designed near perfection, yet limited in size. As a result, you simply cannot fit large drivers within the enclosure and completely cover the dynamic range as effectively as full-range large speakers. I started my testing with the Eagles: Hell Freezes Over Product Review Atlantic Technology System 2200 7.1 Home Theater Speakers January, 2006 • Mark Smith DTS DVD. The first thing I noticed was that this system has the ability to do two things very well. First, when the artist wants you to hear different instruments, the system can demonstrate them very accurately. Second, when the artist wants a seamless sound stage and have you enveloped in the music, it can do that too. (Highlight comment joshuacooper 02.07.2008 15:55:44 blank) The entire system, including the sub, blended very well. As the music increased in volume, it was very refreshing to hear all of the speakers including the sub move in unison. The opening song was a joy to listen to from the guitars, to the bongos, to Don Henley’s vocals. The only limitation I observed was a ...
