Home Theatre Question

Im new to Home Theatre. A friend who installs
home automation systems and surround recently wired my home
up for a Focus4 system. He then cut out seven 8-inch holes
in the ceiling of my listening room for ceiling speakers.
The holes are for 7.1 surround speakers. Im concerned that
all seven speakers pointing downward from the ceiling wont create proper surround sound. Is there any merit to the
placement of all 7 speakers on the ceiling ? The speakers
will sit flat in the ceiling.
thanks for responses

Vic- I see that you have a pair of Avalon Eidolons in your two-channel system. Do you have seven Eidolons in your HT system? I’m thinking of using five or seven Vandy 1Cs or Eminent Technology LFT VIIIBs in my basement (under construction) music room / theater.

I agree with your assessment of the need for room correction. Kal, who I consider the ultimate last word in anything surround, using a setup with five identical speakers, could here a marked difference between the front and back speakers when using pink noise; until he switched Audyssey in and then all sounded identical!

Oh, and thanks for the HDMI cable case of beer.
