Thanks for the welcome.
I'm currently running a 7.1 setup with a set of quintets. The pre wire is a left right and centers so yea my thought was to keep my floor speakers and get a center speaker and just use the front and back left/right ceiling speakers.
Im really just now learning of all the different options for a true surround sound set up. Im in a small apartment right now so my options were pretty slim as for mounting speakers/running wire so all the speakers now are on the entertainment center.
