So I am resigned to an in-ceiling set up in my new house build. I have narrowed it down to either the AIM7 Twos or the AIM8 Ones mainly because of pricing. I can get both speakers for the same price. Which one would you prefer?

This is for a family room (17x27), TV above the fireplace. The family room is an open concept, opens right into the kitchen. Ceilings are 10 feet. Thank you for any and all help!

Here's the specs:

AIM7 Two

Neither. Give me wall mounted speakers if they must be on a wall.

I understand in ceiling is less than optimal. Nonetheless, still want opinions regarding the two speakers I specifically listed.
