Adrian, not sure if you have seen my setup on here but I have my center basically right against the ceiling ~8' off the ground and the M80s are, of course, on the ground. I notice no ill effects and have a great soundstage. Dialogue is nicely centered on the screen. I think it comes down to placement and aiming to achieve what you are looking for.
