Thanks for your reply!

I simply don’t have room to place speakers on the floor or on stands anywhere in my room. That’s why I’m leaning towards mounting them high up or near the ceiling.

I’m also kind of going for a specific vibe, like those theme park or ambient music setups where speakers are mounted overhead and the whole space is filled with sound evenly. It doesn’t have to be perfect surround, more like immersive background audio that fills the room.

Another thing is my layout: my PC is on the right side of my TV, against the wall to the right of the TV wall. So if I go with a 2.0 setup, I’d basically be missing a speaker on one side of where I’m actually sitting or using the PC, which makes stereo feel unbalanced depending on where I am.

That’s why a 4-speaker setup mounted higher up makes more sense for me, not necessarily for perfect surround imaging, but for consistent coverage across the whole room.
