Michael_A: I'm a little north of Dover. I've been to the White Marsh area a few times. About an hour from me.

As far as ceiling mount that isn't really an option either. I have a "popcorn" ceiling. Trying to mount anything to that would be a mess. I was really trying to avoid using any kind of brackets anyway. With the fact that my surrounds have to mount almost directly behind the couch, I wanted to avoid bringing them out any further towards the listening area. The closer to the wall the better.
