I am considering 2 pair for an upgrade from 5.2 to 7.2. I have done some research, but am still a bit confused on optimal placement in my room. I have 10 ft ceilings, and wonder if ceiling mount would be best for high front channels?

I could also do wall mount, but high left would have to be dropped from the ceiling with a mount. Otherwise both high sides could go on the ceiling as well. It may not be necessary, but here is my complete setup just in case:

Room:
23.5'x13.5'x10' Ceiling

The equipment is on the 23.5' wall, towards one end of the room, with seating directly across from it, so 11' to the listener/viewer. The right front speaker is 20" from the 13.5' wall. Sub-optimal but the only real possibility with the room design and stairs to the other part of the house.

Front:
Klipsch RP-8000F

Center:
RP-504C

Surround:
RP-402S

Subs:
80-IMP12B

These are designed specifically to mimic the overhead speakers from a traditional Atmos setup, by bouncing the sound off the ceiling and hitting the listener from above; that's why they are angled like that. They are intended to sit on a flat surface facing up, like on top of a tower, stand, or even floor, depending on the room geometry. They make up the "Z" in a X.Y.Z setup - so, in yours, you'd get these of if you wanted to move from a 5.2.0 setup to a 5.2.2 one. I can't speak to how good of a job they do versus actual in-ceiling speakers, as I just went the old fashioned route, but they are definitely not what you want for a 7.2.0 setup with front height channels.
For that, you'll be much better off just getting the bookshelf speakers from the same series (or any other bookshelf speakers), and wall-mount/ceiling drop them like you mentioned, or,depending on whether you're renting, you could also just get some in-wall ones for a cleaner look. There is a reason that's what the Dolby guidebook (and the good folks at avforum) recommend. Getting these for use as front height channels is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

Thanks for the reply, makes perfect sense.
