How low (cheap) can I go

[Bryce_H]

Hey everyone...so I recently upgraded to a Denon AVR-X4300h which has ATMOS. However, the layout of cash for the receiver has inhibited my ability to get the ceiling speakers to complete the setup...

So I am trying to get a sense the needed level of quality and tonal matching of the in-ceiling speakers.

Ideally I would get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Technology-DT6-5R-Ceiling-Speaker/dp/B00VXAH8NI/ref=sr_1_1?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1493317245&sr=1-1&keywords=in-ceiling+speakers&refinements=p_n_feature_two_browse-bin:2494593011,p_89:Definitive+Technology

Can I go super low: https://www.amazon.com/Acoustic-Audio-Ceiling-Speaker-Theater/dp/B00EAU9DPO/ref=sr_1_2?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1493317227&sr=1-2&keywords=in-ceiling+speakers&refinements=p_n_feature_two_browse-bin:2494593011

Or do I need to at least get to a brand name:
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Performance-Ceiling-Speaker/dp/B002JTG0PO/ref=sr_1_37?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1493317634&sr=1-37&keywords=in-ceiling+speakers&refinements=p_n_feature_two_browse-bin:2494593011,p_72:1248879011

or this: https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-NS-IW280CWH-Ceiling-Speaker-System/dp/B000O3TFZO/ref=sr_1_50?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1493317870&sr=1-50&keywords=in-ceiling+speakers&refinements=p_n_feature_two_browse-bin:2494593011,p_72:1248879011

I will be going to a 5.1.4 setup.

If I were in that situation, I would likely be looking at Monoprice
https://www.monoprice.com/search/index?keyword=in+ceiling+speakers

Or perhaps these
http://www.classicaudioparts.com/index.php/loudspeakers.html

Or maybe even try to find a used set of the previous generation DT Studio Monitors, but that won't be as clean looking install.

Also these:
https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-cs625c-6-1-2-coaxial-ceiling-speaker-pair--300-410

Don't expect HiFi from either of these, but you'd be surprised how much quality you get for such tiny money

Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into those.
