Someone just posted in the Front Projector forum that they are installing a front projection system where the screen will be close to the ceiling with just enough room above it for the center channel. I questioned why they were placing the center channel above the screen since this would mean their left and right channel speakers will also need to be placed this high so that the tweeters will be at the same height. The reply was that it is general concensus on the HT Builder forum that if you cannot place the center behind the screen that it should be above.
This would make sense to me for an RPTV, but for a projection screen mounted near the ceiling? I've heard systems like this and the sound placement seems too high. Especially if the left and right channels are also placed at the same level.
I've recently finished a rather non-intrusive HT install in my home. As you can see from the picture the center is close to level with the tweeters on the main speakers. They are below the screen and the resulting sound is fantastic.

So, I'm just curious.... I understand that my speakers are not in-wall and I don't have multi-row seating. Does this make a difference? I get questions from friends/co-workers about this kind of thing occassionally and want to make sure I share the correct information.
More info on my setup can be found here .
Thanks!
