I would think this would be the same as having them floor or wall mounted three feet behind the seating area? The L/R surround I have to go in the ceiling since I only have a half wall on the right which is about four feet high and I would think that it would need to be mounted maybe a foot higher than what is available. The opposite wall is full and open so it wouldn’t be a problem there but I want the speakers mounted the same on either side. I was thinking about mounting the L/R front speakers in the ceiling but then I realized when all my cabinets and TV are installed I will have about a foot of wall space on either side of the TV so I should have the space for wall mount speakers in that location. So is what I am proposing (four in ceiling, two wall mount) seem practical for my situation? I just bought two rolls of speaker wire and it was over $300 so I really want to be sure where I put these speakers. Thanks for the help.
