I'm trying to think out speaker placement in our family room. It has some complex shapes so I won't get anything near a sound room quality but that's not the goal. One thing I'm trying to also figure out is whether I should use "Presence" speakers mounted high in the four corners or think about ceiling mounts. If there isn't a huge quality difference, I would like to avoid ceiling mounts.
The area outlined in blue is open to the Library above. This is a 20ft ceiling. The other portion is 10ft. The stairs down area is open to the house. Mounting speakers back there is more challenging.
If I understand my options, there is one path of mounting "presence" speakers in four corners high or going with ceiling mounts. I'm trying to avoid ceiling mounts as anything more than a screw hole will probably mean retexturing the entire section. In addition to that, half the ceiling is open to the library above.
The screen is mounted in the turret circular area.

According to the 2070 manual, here is the ideal layout config. There are no ceiling mounted speaker sin this config unlike many others which show either two or four ceiling mounted speakers and no "presence" speakers.
