Atmos Height Speaker Height...How High?


My ceiling is 22 feet high. I’ve read that the ideal height of an Atmos height speaker is 8-10 feet.
Is there any benefit to go to 15 or 20 feet high for the height speakers?
I'm upgrading to a processor with Atmos soon.

Great Room and some really nice 2 channel gear.  
Question: Have you ever seen ceiling mounted speakers in a movie theater?  They mount on the walls up high but never that high.  I don't see a system correcting for something so far out of the "norm".  Many Atmos speakers use reflections to get the height speaker sound-upwards firing little speakers.  Could you hang speakers on a wire from your ceiling on 12 foot long wires-you could actually put them in light fixtures just like your hanging lights.  It would look awesome.  This is only for sound effects anyway.
