Def Tech RCS II and other In-Ceiling Speakers

[beatbox]

Hello everyone! I'm looking for 2 pairs of in-ceiling speakers for my backyard. They are currently building a roof over the outdoor bar, and I'm gonna need some great speakers for entertainment and parties. I narrowed it down to Definitive Technology's RCS III speaker or RSS III, but I'm also open to other suggestions. The RCS III are intended for fronts, which I like for stereo, but it seems like the sound only travels in one direction. The RSS III however are intended to be surround speakers, which is what I want because the sound will be spacious so everyone will hear it equally, but surround speakers usually don't sound as well as front speakers for a 4 channel stereo (or so I've heard). So my question to you guys is, what in-ceiling speaker is the best for 4 channel stereo for outdoor use? Again, I am open to other speaker suggestions you guys might have. There really is no budget for I want the best possible sound. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

NXG speakers are usually pretty reputable. They're even resistant to corrosion in humid environments, which would be beneficial for outdoor use.

Also, Beale Street Audio has some very nice looking speakers that come pre-built into tuned enclosures. While you're at it, these in-ceiling subwoofers look rather fascinating.

GoldenEar Invisa MPX line, but I am not sure for outdoor speakers.

I would look at James loudspeakers outdoor/Marine speakers.

QXC Series speakers feature a unique three piece installation method employing a light weight frame, independent speaker body and border-less grille. All enclosures are constructed of aircraft/marine grade aluminum, making these speakers a perfect choice for any vessel or outdoor environment.
