Introduction
Atlantic Technology produces 

home theater speaker systems 

that range in price from $900 

- $25,000. According to Atlantic 

Technology, “The goal of home 

theater isn’t to put you in the 

movie theater; it’s to put you in 

the movie!”
Well, they came very close with 

their System 2200. This package 

delivers an impressive experi-

ence, while ranging in price from 

$2,000-$2,600 depending on 

configuration.

The Design
I had the pleasure of reviewing 

the 7.1 System 2200 utilizing 

various genres of music as well 

as movies. Most of the testing 

was performed with the 5.1 setup 

due to room limitations. However, 

some testing was done with 7.1 

which I will discuss later in the 

article. All of the speakers ar-

rived in perfect condition even 

though it appeared the UPS had 

been a little hard on the boxes. 

They were packaged soundly with 

double plastic wrapping around 

the speakers along with foam 

inserts.
The speakers have excellent 

craftsmanship. There are black 

high-gloss side panels on all of 

the speakers except for the 2200 

SR surrounds. Due to the en-

closure design (one woofer and 

tweeter angled to the right and 

one set angled to the left), there 

are no side panels for the high-

gloss back inserts.
The front speakers have two 

41⁄2” graphite loaded polymer 

woofers and a 1” ferrofluid-

cooled, damped soft dome tweet-

er, while the surround speakers 

each have two of the same woof-

ers and two of the same tweeters.
The subwoofer grille has a plastic 

frame, covered by gray cloth. The 

volume control is at the upper 

right behind the grille. The loca-

tion of the level control was not 

very accessible for testing, so 

the grille was absent most of the 

time.
The rest of the speakers have 

metal grilles that attach magneti-

cally to the enclosures, and this 

seems to work well. It was very 

easy to align them, and they 

looked great installed. They have 

a semi-transparent quality which 

allows one to see the drivers, and 

what audiophile doesn’t like to 

see the hardware in action?
The front channel speakers (2200 

LR) and the surround speakers 

all have keyhole brackets as well 

as 1⁄4” x 20 threaded posts to 

handle most applications. I uti-

lized the keyhole brackets for the 

surrounds but did find that the 

keyhole size was smaller than my 

personal surrounds, so I had to 

use a Dremel® tool to grind down 

the screw heads a little for them 

to fit. 

There are a several features that 

are standard on the System 2200 

that are rare in this price range. 

The center channel (2200 C) has 

two features that help optimize it 

according to the room acoustics. 

First, it has a “High Frequency
