Hc Diy Room Speaker Heights??

Hi guys just information gathering at the moment as I await architects plans for my HC room.

The room is to be about (internal) 8ftx14ft.

I would like to know on a 7.1 set up at what heights should I have my rear & surround speakers bearing in mind that I have no choice at the front but to have floor standing with a raised centre speaker.

I am a bit confused with the fact that some people seem to have them quite high pointing down and others at about ear level.

Any advice is much appreciated.
