Home Theatre Question


Im new to Home Theatre. A friend who installs
home automation systems and surround recently wired my home
up for a Focus4 system. He then cut out seven 8-inch holes
in the ceiling of my listening room for ceiling speakers.
The holes are for 7.1 surround speakers. Im concerned that
all seven speakers pointing downward from the ceiling wont create proper surround sound. Is there any merit to the
placement of all 7 speakers on the ceiling ? The speakers
will sit flat in the ceiling.
thanks for responses

Actually it is more of a demerit to have all of your speakers in the ceiling. If it is a HT room..the speakers should be in/or on the front, side and rear walls to give a true surround sound effect.

Putting all seven speakers in the ceiling is just the easy way out. The sound will lack luster.. regardless if you can tilt them or not.
