In-wall 5.1 HT ideas

[veraghen14]

I'm currently finishing my basement and I'm looking for in-wall speakers. My total room is 17' x 45', but the area of the HT is 17' x 20'. I will be using either a denon 1912 or Pioneer elite vsx-52 to power the speakers. The system will be about 70% HT and 30% music. Right now, here is what I am looking at with the online prices I've found.

Fronts: Def Tech RLS III ~$325 each

Center: Def Tech UIW 75 $220 or
Def Tech DI 6.5lcr $265

Rear: Def Tech UIW 63/a $150 pair or
Def Tech DI 6.5R $270 pair

Sub: still evaluating

I have also looked at speakercraft but thought Def Tech outperformed. Unfortunately, those are the only two manufacturers I have been able to listen to. As you can see, my budget for the above setup (only speakers, no sub) is $1000-$1200. Anybody have thoughts on this setup or suggestions on an alternative in the $$ range? Any input would be helpful as I am wet behind the ears with this stuff.

I did a 5.1 in-wall setup for my kids and it sounds great.

I used Boston Acoustics.
