Very very nice. How do you like the ceiling mounted surround sound speakers? Also, can the back row hear dialogue good with the center channel mounted that low? I'm just asking because I'm going to start on my home theater this spring and these were some issues that I wanted to ask someone with an actual setup like this.

If you get an acoustically transparent screen, mount the center channel directly behind the screen. Also, mount the rears to the walls...speakers are directional components. Mounted on the ceiling, theyll fire straight down. Depending on the seating positions, this can cut off a significant portion of the highs. Most speakers will lose the top 5KHz to 7KHz just from being 30* off axis. Think of it when you adjust an EQ or tone control to eliminate the upper frequencies. Generally, for a surround setup, and even stereo, you want the speakers pointing towards the listening positions. When the speakers arent positioned right, you get phase shifts which result in a very un-natural sound. Hope that helped a bit :).

EDIT: Heres one for you. Im not sure which size you need, but this is the type of screen Im talking about. http://www.amazon.com/Accuscreen-80...8H82/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325713238&sr=8-2

I think it sounds great the way it is, however, if I had a room that allowed the rears to be mounted in the wall directly behind I would have done so. The center channel to me poses no issues it sounds fine in the back row but I'm not an audio expert either. the middle seat in the back row is where I always sit.
 
how are them winders holdin up ? that dazzle stuff I put on them should keep em looking baller for at least a year
