Hey Guys, I haven't been around in awhile but I would like any and all opinions on my inquiry. I know the standard placement for surround speakers as most recommend, but I cannot do that. Here are my two options, which would you do? Keep in mind I have a 20 ft vaulted ceiling.

1. slightly behind and at ear level
2. slightly behind and 8 ft above ear level

Thanks for any responses and I hope to visit more often. I am also very pleaed with my 990/7500.
