Home theater audio applications continue to be intensified—from 5.1 surround channels to 7.1, to even 9.1 these days when you add new “height” speakers, plus you can accommodate THX certified systems and the latest lossless high-def audio codecs.

Atlantic Technology has unveiled the 1400 SR-z, a dipole/bipole surround speaker designed for height-speaker channel applications.
