Atmos is not 11.2! Home theater Atmos is 12 statically positioned streams, usually 7.1.4 (horizontally_emitting.low_freq.vertically_emitting) and up to 20 dynamically located streams. The audio is then rendered for the speakers configurations. Highest-end decoder can theorically support 24.1.10 but I never saw a decoder support more than 32 channels.

My receiver has 13 outputs (11 amplified, 2 sub at line level) but I use a 5.1.2 configuration, in a relatively small listening room, and I don't know where I could add more speakers without rebuilding the walls and the ceiling.
