I'm attaching a picture. The roof is the part I'm referring to.

Thanks to both of you. When someone was discussing ceilings in another post, I realized I had never even given them any thought.
I think Wayne's speakers are good at not sending sound up and down, but this room structure seems particularly bad to me. I'll do some clapping and see.

I think we've settled on a house that has a room which is symmetrical and is a rectangle roughly 13 x 15 feet, with thick carpet.
Some time ago I read that the best room would be a rectangle with the main speakers on the shorter end. Also, that the left and right speakers should occupy the the left and right ends of a equilateral triangle, and that the best spot for the listener would be at the remaining corner of the triangle.
Additionally from what has been said, human hearing is not accustomed to sound from above. Therefore, placing surrounds in the ceiling is a bad idea.
Is that somewhat correct?
