I'm hoping its 5 lower and 5 upper speakers with the typical 5.1 lower and the top 5 spun 180 degrees. The top level would have a center rear height, all speakers will split the difference between the lower speakers. I could see this working, 7 of 10 would be in front of the listener. No?
Edit: should say ideally (IMO) 7 of 10 would be infront of the MLP.
