Speaker height vs ceiling height


My basement is a bit over 7 foot.
How high can I go for speakers?
Is 6 foot speaker too high for the ceiling? Then, how about 5 1/2 foot?

I really do not believe tall speakers are an issue. I have owned 8' tall electrostatic speakers and 6' tall dynamic speakers without any problems. Most of the really tall dynamic speakers place their drivers in a D'Appolito configuration, so the midrange and tweeters are not close to the ceiling anyway. Having the speaker near room bounderies (floor and ceiling) supports bass response and I seldom hear anyone complain about too much bass.
