Need Help with considering In-Wall vs Ceiling Speakers..

[HDTVFREAK]

I am building a new house and will want to put in speakers throughout the house. I figured I will run speakers into 5-6 rooms.
My questions are:
1. Which is better ceiling or in-wall or does it matter. I would rather ceiling for looks.
2. What type of speakers should I buy? I am not looking to break the bank I just want solid speakers.
3. What receiver would do the job for this?

THanks for the input. I know you guys get these questions all the time.

Check out Speakercraft. They have a very large selection of in-ceiling, in-wall speakers.

If this is for whole house audio, I recommend in-ceiling speakers.

Polks offer good bang/buck performance. And I really like my Paradigms and Def Techs.

The best bang for the buck Speakers I have used in installations have been Emphasys, NXG, and Niles. In that order. PM me if you want more details any any of them.

I'd have to ask,...what are they for? Background music? Home Theater? Party music? Other?

If just background, just about any in-ceiling from a reputable manufacturer would do.

Home Theater,... I'd recommend in-wall over in-ceiling. I have three suggestions; Triad, RBH Sound, or James Loudspeaker.

Party music,... bite the bullet and forget about aesthetics. Look into floor standing or bookshelf models from the likes of JBL pro, Cerwin Vega, Klipsch etc, etc.
