Placement of KEF R8 Meta

Install/Placement

I’m looking for advice on the best way to position my two sets of KEF R8 Meta speakers. I’m using them for front and rear height channels.

Should I: 1. Place the R8 Metas on top of my front and rear speakers (R11 Meta and R3 Meta respectively) to use them in up-firing mode?

2.	Or wall-mount them above the front and rear speakers, angled down toward the listening position?

This is a 7.2.4 setup with ceiling height of 8 ft. Room will be acoustically treated and I’m using a Denon X4800H. I want to make sure I’m getting the most immersive experience, especially since I’m investing in proper height channels.

Would love to hear what’s worked best for you all.
