: Please, could anyone tell me what are the best location for in-ceiling speakers for effective surround sound?

NO PLACE WHATSOEVER!

I suggest you, instead, get a pair of "standard" surround speakers and MOUNT THEM ON THE BACK WALL, approx. 2-3 feet from the ceiling and 1-2 feet from the side wall.

Since you're getting a Denon AVR-3200 (GREAT receiver - I have one myself!), make sure ALL your speakers have a MINIMUM "continuous (RMS) power rating of 100 watts!

Using in-ceiling or in-wall speakers is "problematic", simply because you have LITTLE TO NO CONTROL over the "acoustics" of the speaker (i.e. resonanace, etc.).

Of course, this is my opinion. I'm sure one of the gurus here will chime-in. :)
