Room placement and constraint questions regarding GR speakers (namely A/V and Paradox 1s and 1+s)

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I emailed Danny about this, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask you guys too.
Right now I'm eyeing the A/V 1+s and Paradox 1+s for the speakers that I'm going to use in my soon to be setup. However, the room that these are going to be used in is rather small, around 9x10-11 ft. My original idea was to find a way to mount this in the corners of the ceiling and have them pointed towards me, but now I realise that the imaging will probably get all f-ed up if I do that (I think, please correct me if I'm wrong). So, I think I can sacrifice space in this room to make it so they are head level. But now I have these questions:
1). What will making these speakers lay flat ways do to the performance/imaging/everything? I ask this because I do have the option of putting these on bookshelves at head level, instead of taking up some more space using stands.
2). I hear alot about how the A/V or Paradox 1s are good choices for small rooms, as if the 1+s would somehow suffer in the same room. Do they simply mean that it won't reach its full potentiol in a small room or that the room constraints will actually make it perform/sound worse then the 1s in the same room? If it really doesn't make too much of a difference, I feel much more comfortable springing for the 1+s as I'd like to be content with this system I'm making for as long as I can to the point where I can take it with me when I graduate and into an apartment. Basically, the enviroment in which these speakers will be in will change time to time from bigger to smaller wether I actually move out or just move the system to another room in this house.
You guys have helped me out alot already. Thanks.
