Thank you for the replies. I have a window on one side, and the a far wall behind the sitting position, so I have to go for the ceiling. The best option (under the circumstances) would be to have the speakers inclined towards the sitting position. There are however aesthetics objections (guess by whom), as this would mean having the speakers protrude from the ceiling, in the middle of a large room. Any pretty speakers for such a position? How about the alternative of bipolar (omnipolar?) speakers going flat in the false ceiling (pointing vertically downwards)? Would they do the trick? Does anybody know of such speakers? Thanks Anhad

I am trying to design a home theater for a new home and somebody suggested that the rear speakers (2 for 5.1, or 3 for 6.1) could be placed in the ceiling (height 3meters), approx. 1 meter behind the couch, and 5 meters away from the TV/front speakers. The TV and front speakers would be located at eye lever. This suits the layout of the room, and I am considering it. I have never seen anything to suggest that this is a good idea. Has anybody tried it? What in-ceiling speakers and front speakers would you suggest in such a case? Thank you
