While I am awaiting shipment of my Marantz SR7009, I am working to see how I can implement a 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos layout without tearing apart my ceiling.
Here is my current setup;
75" Mitsubishi LaserVue L75A91
Onkyo TX-NR905

and an old pair of [url="http://axiomaudio.com/gallery_disp.html?image=M22BlackGrilleOff2.jpg&title=M22"]Axiom Audio M22s[/url]
Here is an image of how it currently looks (not M22s hiding in the shadows atop of the oak entertainment towers)

I have an 8' ceiling comprised of acoustically absorbent 2'x'2 tiles. The seating is about 9-10' from the television. Here is the idea that I am kicking around, and I would love any feedback.
My plan was to re-purpose my M22s by placing them horizontally atop of the 6' oak entertainment towers. The speaker cabinet/s of the M22s is slightly angled, which when laid on their side, would place the drivers on a slight angle toward the ceiling. While I am unsure as to if the angle will be sufficient (which I will be able to easily modify), I am more curious as to how well (or poorly) the ceiling will reflect overhead audio. It is my hope that the ceiling tiles will reflect a sufficient amount of the sound, and perhaps help to diffuse it a bit.
Thoughts?
