Has anybody got the problem I have, no good place for standard speakers for the rear surrounds for my 5.1 setup. Now I'm thinking of going either in-wall or even more in-ceiling. Has anybody listened to or own any of these, ala Precision, Definitive, Speaker Craft? I have seen that most are simple coax designs, 6.5-8" for the woofer, 1" for the tweeter. I'd like to keep the price to $200, considering I find the rear surrounds the least important.

Thanx!!!

I have a similar problem, having a hexagonal living room, where one wall has a fireplace, another has patio door and another is entrance to liv room. My speaker positioning is a real compromise. However I found that having full range speakers for the surrounds helps. In our house there is no good way for ceiling or in-wall or even wall-mount. So we had to compromise. It seems to work as it sounds better than before.

And BTW I was told prior to getting into 5.1 that the surrounds aren't all that important as they don't contain all that much information. I beg to differ....at least in my room...and maybe it's because my surrounds are capable...and maybe it's the settings. Dunno. Just sounds good. BTW my surrounds and fronts are KEF 107s (full-range).

I would be most interested to know what other outlaws think of full-range for the surrounds.
HTH

I have Polk Audio LC80i in ceiling speakers for my 6 and 7 th channel and they sound good. I am not sure I would want them as my main surrounds though. How about a ceiling mount for a regular surround speaker such as THESE ?

I'm sure they would work fine.
Our home doesn't lend itself to fishing.
Compromises...compromises...compromises, but it sounds good.

Maybe next house or if we add on (ugh...perish the thought)
