In My Mind Ceiling speakers would seem like the solution to a perfect rear surround system, is it?

IF the speakers where in the ceiling Wouldn’t it create a better ambience, and surrounding affect overal. I’m not sure. I hear lots of people dissing ceiling speakers alot (but remember I’m only thinking of using them for the 4 rear channels. For my final ultimate home theatre setup I was thinking of having 4 full range electrostatic speakers in the original rear speaker positions than having 4 omnidirectional (radial) near full range speakers, anchored with a rod or something at about a 65 degree angle towards the sweet spot above the electrostats (a twist right, not really the typical ceiling setup), with 3 subwoofers (one directly behind, and 2 on either sides) (of course I’ll have a sub up front with the front speakers). What do You think about this (seems amazing to me), but would type,model or brandname of omnidirectional driver would I use to do this. Do you doubt this setup what could I do instead. Thanks..

Usually there is a standard set up for speakers that is ideal, but there are also different standards and arguments there is THX which is certified by Lucas Films there is also the various Dolby Standards Dolby Digital Pro logic Dolby II z etc…DTS and there are also some other standards that come out of Europe…so because of this it gives you some latitude in what kind of speakers and type you can use, I’ve read various discussions on what’s best defused sound, bi-polar; dipole speakers, direct speakers at ear level and have never heard a definitive answer as to whats best, even between 5.1 and 7.1 there are arguments about which is better…so a lot of times the only way your going to find out what works for you is to try it…Definitive Technology makes some ceiling speakers for Home theater also Polk and Dayton..a lot is going to depend on your seating position shape of the room and other variables as to what works best for you.
