Atmos: Non Ceiling Speakers

  I visit the HT Forum infrequently but I have never seen an Atmos discussion.  Pardon me if I am covering well tread ground here...
   Manufacturers such as KEF and PSB are now releasing Atmos speakers that are meant to be placed on top of floor standers and aimed at the ceiling.  This eliminates the obvious obstacle of having to cut holes in your ceiling
to mount ceiling speakers.
  Are there any Atmos enthusiasts out there?  Any thoughts or experience with speakers such as these?

I just got a Onkyo TX-NR838 receiver last month for $500 A $TEAL!
It has just about every new feature anyone could possibly ask for (HDMI 2.0, Dolby Atmos THX etc.).
At present I have it set up as a 5.1 system & it sounds fantastic driving my all Eggleston Works speakers.
For about $130 I can add a pair of the Onkyo SKH-410 Dolby Atmos speakers.
My main concern is that my family room has 15' cathedral ceilings & I am not sure where or how to place the Atmos speakers for optimum sound effect.
Anyone out there have the same situation and a solution?
