How close can the rear center be?

I am planning my HT setup, and am sitting on an extra RC-3 (well, trying to sell it, but if I don't have any luck...).

My living room is arranged with the primary listening position nearly against the back wall, with no realistic way of moving this forward more than half a foot or so.

Is it possible to place a rear center channel a little higher on my back wall (I have a cathedral ceiling), and firing downward towards the listening position? I am not sure if the phase adjustment would allow this sort of close placement...

chuck, what do u mean by phase adjustment? u mean the speaker distance setting? anyway that should be fine. though it's best behind, u should be able to set the distance/delay for it to sound how u like. i set my rear center closer than what it is actually by about 4 ft to simulate an extension of the rear wall some, ie, a deeper rear soundstage. fe, if it's 5 ft above & behind your sweet spot, u could set it to 1 ft (if the distance setting goes that low).

Oops, my mistake... yes, I meant to refer to the speaker distance setting, not the phase...
