My question is regarding where to place my surrounds in a 5.1 system. My choices boil down to in-ceiling vs. on-wall. The problem is that my odd shaped family room won't really allow me to have the speakers on-the wall or even floor-standing if I want to keep the angles to my main seating position symmetrical. With floor-standing or wall-mounted speakers, I would need to place the speakers directly to the side of my listening position and the left speaker would be several feet further away from my main seating position than the right speaker. My only choice in placing the surrounds angled behind, and symmetrical with, my main seating position is to place them in the ceiling. So, what am I losing by placing them in the ceiling?
