ceiling speakers...any recommendations? - Blu-ray Forum

Take a look at Boston Acoustics in ceiling line as well. You want to be sure that whatever speaker you go with that it has a directional tweeter. Meaning one that is not firing straight down. Some of the better in ceiling designs offer tweeters that are directionally adjustable, other have them firing at an angle to better reach the listening position. Remember the higher frequencies are highly directional in nature, so you need to pay attention to what type of soundfield whatever speaker you choose produces. Good luck!

when i did home theater installs we used a lot of speakercraft. i was surprise by the sound quality (i don't usually like architectural speakers). they match up well with a lot of different speaker materials. the aim series is my favorite, allowing you to pivot the basket towards your listening area, which may not be necessary depending on your room/ seating area. they are also nice because they are made by people who keep the installation side in mind. even though you only plan on installing them once (i imagine) it's nice to know they won't create a headache for you.
