For home theater, wall speakers for the front three chan- nels create the illusion that the sound is coming from the screen, which makes the viewing experience more involving and believable. When you use ceiling speakers for the front channels, the sound appears to come from above the screen which is less believable.

2.Tilt the tweeters so they aim at the prime listening position.
3.Align the center channel speaker with the center of the screen, and place the left and right speakers no fur- ther than 4 feet from either side of the screen.
