Help selecting rear speakers in a 5.1 system

Greatings all. I am building a 5.1 system for my great room. Due to the open layout a 7.1 system is not possible. The room itself is 16’ deep and 18’ wide and has a 18’ high cathedral ceiling. The room is open in the back to the breakfast nook and kitchen, however that area only has a 9' ceiling. So the back wall above the ceiling transition will be where the rear speakers will be placed.

Now that the room specs are out of the way, I am looking to stay with the Klipsch Reference II line. I auditioned the line at the local independent shop and was really impressed with them. I have always wanted to play with a horn driven system, but know for accuracy's sake they would not be good in my two channel analog system.

I have the ability to run speaker cables in-wall and want to either in-wall or on wall rear surrounds. I did already purchase the RC-62 II after auditioning it in my home. They had a floor model that they closed out for $400 and I snapped it up.

Please help me with the rear speaker selection.
