Nope. The absolute maximum height of the top of the screen frame is 79", due to the A/C ducts. The ducts run the length of the house, from the utility room (behind the screen) and out the back of the HT room. I am planning on building a riser for the 2nd row. I didn't even bother to mention that the ceiling will be very low over the left side of row 2... The main room I wanted to buy this house in 2004 was because I had HT plans for the basement. I don't think my wife will agree to move now, just because I'm having difficulty putting it all together! Maybe we'll move again in five years, and I'll build a better HT. Until then, I'm trying to cram as many seats in front of as large a screen as possible with 7.1 sound! It can't/won't be perfect, but I want it to be as good as possible for as many seating positions as possible... thus the EP600/500 combo. At least I'll deliver the proper bass to each seat!
