[bevo7]

I know that the ceiling speakers are not the best route to go but please give me a direction, as far some names of in ceiling that provide the best sound for that type of speaker. 18x20 family room. Thanks

Surround?

Are these for a surround sound system or for music? Also, how big is the room and how high are the ceilings.

If you wanted in-walls, there are even more options. In ceiling is more limited.

For home theater applications, get the best you can afford, don't cheap out on the subwoofer. Careful with positioning, make sure the mail seats are well covered by the tweeters.

For background distributed audio only, I've usually specified MUCH cheaper speakers, typically about $90/pair list. For that application more cheaper speakers is better than a couple of expensive ones.

Using an auto-EQ system like Audyssey is essential with all in-wall/in-ceiling speakers, especially the low and mid-priced ones.
