Upward firing speakers
The latest cinema sound processing calls for speakers either ceiling mounted or upward firing. Ceiling mounted is, of course, not practical for most people but upward firing is possible.
There are a number of manufacturers now producing them but the cynic in me thinks that the design will be little different from a normal speaker laid on its back and angled by 20 degrees.
Anyone experimented with this approach? Annoyingly, I recently gave away a nice pair of Mission speakers so will have to buy some to try it out.
