Dolby specify the use of up to 34 speakers in an Atmos system. FH and RH ARE part of this specification.
D&M products allow for this Atmos speaker placement as does the Steinway P200 , Trinnov Altitude,Storm and Datasat RS20i processors.
Dolby recommends that these speakers are used in conjunction with either TF TM TR.
So YES they are DESIGNATED Atmos speaker locations.
I have spent many many hours with 5 different Atmos systems experimenting with the optimal Atmos layout for different rooms.
In my room FH's provide the best results. Dolby also recommend direct firing speakers for all speakers. I use tripole surrounds and will be using tripole for TM as they give far better results in medium and small rooms.
Dolby provide a set of guidelines.
I can assure you that I am def not running a pseudo Atmos system.
You will also find that DTS prescribe to the use of FH and RH speakers for DTS:X as well as in ceiling.
