Canes, it's real tough to predict how they will sound 15-20 degrees behind vs face on or forward of MLP. My experience says ears-brains are not as sensitive to sounds from behind. I'm not so sure I trust my experience in this regard with sides though because there are a few factors at least. I know position experimentation with on-walls isn't fun but it may provide you with future comfort. You strike me as the type who will always wonder if it could be better.

I might be able to experiment with positioning before I decide on a final placement. One wall will prevent me from going to far in front of MLP and the other side prevents me from going too far back. I think I have a set of wall mounts that'll allow me to move them to a few different positions. If not a can rig up a brace with a 2x4 to mount the ceiling mounts to and adjust the positioning that way. I'll make sure the top firing speaker is not impeded by the brace as to affect the sound.

At the current position I can mount the surround at 0-5 degrees. Options are actually pretty limited without changing the distance of the MLP. Moving closer would allow me to have them slightly forward of the MLP.

What is your MLP and how wide are the M100s?

7” is the most clearance I can get between the top of the surrounds and the ceiling. Right now my MLP is 20 ft and the 100s are 14 ft apart. I can move the MLP forward to where it would be at 14 ft and the surrounds would be at 0 degree or slightly forward but again I would only have 7” from top driver to ceiling.

If I go to 12-13 feet to MLP I can build a jut out to accommodate the surrounds and I could lower them to 2ft from ceiling. They would be about 10 degrees forward at that location

Wait...you reported the M100s were disappearing and instruments were all around you as if you were sitting on the stage with them. Is that with the 20 ft MLP and 14 feet width?

If I leave MLP as is and do the kick out they would be at about 30 degrees from MLP and roughly 8 ft in front of MLP
