How are the 80F/X-LS for rear surround? My set up is not ideal so I actually have a 3.2.4 setup. I have no rear wall, it's open concept and flows into kitchen and dining. All I can do for rears are ceiling mounts. I have 705s and 704c for fronts. I'm currently using a pair of Yamaha ceiling mounts that are aimable, but want to change them out.
Thanks in advance.

    No go for the 900 -LS . I don't understand why Companies still make these designs for surround speakers anymore. For Dolby Atmos , Dolby Digital, Dolby True HD and all the DTS formats to match, they all reccomend a Direct firing speaker. In ceiling speakers for surrounds can work.
    Also Surrounds don't go into the rear wall, they go on the side walls so In walls if you have the space is ideal. 90 -120 degrees and 72 inches to the tweeter is best. For Atmos you can go as low as 50-60 inches to the Tweeter and it will still work but I still prefer 72 inches to the tweeter for surround speakers.
