Rear sorround choice?

I currently have a 5.1 set-up using old Polk Audio RM3000 satellite's and a Velodyne 12in powered sup. I'm thinking about getting a pair of Polk RtiA7's and CsiA6 center along with the current sub. What would be a good rear surround speaker to use. I'm thinking something in the ceiling and I don't have the floor or wall space for anything with any size. And I'm pretty sure the RM3000's are too small with what I am adding. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated, thanks :confused:

if you are using your system for movies, the surround audio tracks carry far less information than the front 3 channels. The "positional audio" in the surround tracks can be carried by any decent speakers, so I suggest you try your existing surrounds with the new front 3 and see if you like the setup before spending money on speakers you may not need.

If you must go to in-ceiling speakers, make sure they have rotating tweeters so you can aim them towards the listening area, otherwise they will just down-fire towards the floor. In-ceiling units from Parts Express have served me well for installations for in-laws, without breaking the bank.
