I'm kinda wondering, I've been trying to put all of my speakers at about 
ear level because my understanding is that it will result in the best 
sound.  (Specifically, I'm trying to put the tweeter in each speaker at 
ear level.)  What is your reasoning to wanting the speakers that much 
higher?  I think your earlier post mentioned that you were going to 
angle them down, but the disadvantage of that, in my mind, is that you 
end up with a very specific location that has the speakers aligned 
instead of having a bigger area.  I.E. if all of the speakers are high 
and angled down, there is one spot in the middle that has proper 
direction for all speakers, instead of an area.

I'm guessing it's due to some practical limitations with your theatre 
space or aesthetics.  It's a rare and high budget theatre that doesn't 
have some sort of compromises.  I'm curious nonetheless.
