The stupid thing is people listen to Atmos stuff on terrible speakers. Like soundbars with upfiring speakers. Tiny, whimpy little drivers that are tuned to make it sound like you have "bass". It's a shame because if people just set up a decent stereo system it would blow those systems away.
Even if you have a decent system (that's going to cost thousands, a good room and modification of said room) the gains are tiny outside of a few gimmicky demos. In a home environment you really don't need anything more than front speakers. Surrounds do not add anything. Save your money and buy a bigger screen.
