In that case...why not some inwall speakers. You have too look for them in most cases, they don't stand out, and depending on who you get them from, they can still sound really good. I would look at polk's inwall speakers.

That's a great suggestion (as far as in-walls, but the brand/model is up to you)

As far as auditioning....... it means you need to listen before buying

haha thanks...so in ceiling speakers are ok, I was under the impression that they dont sound that good, I would even consider a 7.1 setup if those were a viable option. Anyone have any opinions/recommendations on in ceiling speakers????

my friend uses two of these for surrounds (uses in-walls for the fronts)

This is what HE uses for his fronts.... (L/R) He has an LCR8 for his center.

I'd recommend using these for the L/R/C though.... and install them in the wall.... (or similar speakers)

In-wall/ceiling speakers need to compensate for their inability to have a conventional "enclosure" by better design etc..... You're correct that some in-walls sound like junk.... but some are quite nice.... again... you gotta listen to them


I only recommend that you check these out since I've had a lot of opportunities to hear them at my friends' place.

good luck!
