My setup is FAR from cheap: DENON 13 channel AVR, Monitor Audios all round, and KEF upfiring Atmos, all in a nice 7.1.4 setup (with a 100" projected image). I went with upfiring, as I didn't want to hack loads of holes in the original ceiling of my 90 year old house. Yeah they are not as good as in-ceiling speakers, but I wouldn't say upfiring is always for 'cheap setups' - sometimes you have to just live with the restrictions you have.
