If your Theta has Dirac, it will "timber" match all speakers, making the selection of the atmo speaker less critical. Paradigm has a full line of very well engineered speakers that are less expensive than the wilsons that would work well. However, the Dirac will make these selections less critical. Unlike the "old" way of thinking about this - a lesser speaker corrected with Dirac for the sides and rears will work better than a "better" speaker uncorrected in that regard. Also, I see in your profile above that you have a watchdog controller. If you have dirac in your processor, you could easily eliminate that from the signal path.
