Surround Speaker Positioning

[Droff]

My HT under development is 26'x14.5'x7.5', it's an attic room and the ceiling of it follows the rafters of the roof, until it's roughly 7.5' high, and then the ceiling is straight across.
The walls where the surrounds will be are about 4.5' high, which basically puts the surrounds at a seated ear level or lower.
Any suggestions on placement, or just live with it since I really don't have any options?
Thanks.

If your only working with a 5' margin for surround then you kinda answered your own question. I'd place them as high up and in back of the proposed listening area. This might be helpfull! http://www.audioholics.com/tweaks/speaker-setup-guidelines/home-theater-speaker-layout-an-essential-guide
