Hey everyone,
I'm in the process of building my first HT, and I'm trying to do so on a modest budget. I'll have a 7.1 setup, but I can't decide on my L and R surrounds. I'd like to spend no more than $300 for the pair, preferably less. My only constraints are size, since I will be mounting them on a sloped wall (HT is in bonus room over garage) and I don't want anyone hitting their head on the speakers. I've already decided on in-ceilings for my rear surrounds, and FWIW my front soundstage consists of Polk Monitor 70s, Polk CS2, and BIC-H100 Sub. The rear surrounds will be Monoprice In-Ceiling speakers (either 6 1/2" or 8") because of placement limitations and the inexpensive price.
I thought about using two more of those In-Ceilings for my other two surrounds but I'm not sure how much of a difference wall-mounted speakers would make in terms of sound quality, etc. Thanks for the help in advance.
