Jarek, I currently do not do RI. The immersive channels have only been used for audio visual stuff thus far. I purchased a Lexicon somethinorother to try RI but never got there to take it out of the box. The Trinnov suits my purposes as I can use it for RI as Romy and Bill currently do it, plus it is good for multichannel music actually mixed for Auro3D/Atmos/DTS (there is more and more of that coming available) and streaming/blu-ray home theatre stuff.
I remember the ambience settings on my old Sony surround system from the '90s and it was often worthwhile to change the ambience effect to suit the music, but it was primitive. Sounds like Yamaha did it better, but I bet if you want to use your immersive speakers for more than RI then quality will matter. I am yet to be convinced that the quality of the immersive speakers does not matter for RI, and I would think the basics of having their sonic character at least nominally match the mains is important.
