Hello Guys : )

Long time viewer, first time poster.

I am updating my home theater system.

1 question: Traditionally speakers were supposed to point at the listener. I am considering in-ceiling speakers for the mid speakers and the rear speakers. Will this affect the quality of the listening experience?

2 question: Pioneer Elite? or Denon for primary receiver? 1000.00 price range.

Any thoughs will be appreciated.

Thanks,

-G
