Hi Tee, Thank you for your question! The rear speakers for the Sony BRAVIA Theatre System 6 (HT-S60) are designed for wall mounting or placement on speaker stands/shelves. Mounting them on the ceiling in a down-firing position is not recommended. This is because the drivers in these speakers are front-firing, meaning they are intended to project sound horizontally across the room to create the immersive surround field. Directing the sound straight down from the ceiling would compromise the intended acoustic effect and spatial accuracy of the surround sound experience. For a Sony home theater system that features built-in up-firing speakers necessary for height effects in formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, we recommend the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 with the model number HT-B600. This model is a 3.1.2-channel soundbar which includes two dedicated up-firing drivers integrated into the main unit. These drivers are specifically engineered to reflect sound off the ceiling and back down to the listening area, creating the powerful 3D audio effect. Alternatively, other premium option with this capability is the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 (HT-B900). We hope you find this information helpful, and thanks for considering Sony! Regards, Dominick
