Spiker,
Thanks for your quick response. I'd like to put the rear surrounds as you you've pointed out, but with the layout of my room, oddly placed doors, window, and cutout, it would make it difficult to do so without suspending the speakers from the ceiling. I'm considering selling the house within the year, so I'm less inclined to do ceiling mounting. Stands would give me greater placement flexibility, especially if I could find some stands that would also give me the height needed to get the sound right.
