In ceiling speakers for Blu-ray home entertainment system?
car speaker parts
I’m putting together a home entertainment system to go with my blu ray player. My living room is approx. 17×22 ft, has 2 walkways, 1 door, 3 windows and a fire place. Needless to say there isnt enough wall space or floor space to mount or place speakers properly. I’ve research in-ceiling speakers such as the Bose 191 and the Polk Audio rc80i. Based on users, these speakers are good, but in-ceiling speakers are generally great for music, but not for movies. Is this true? If not, what speakers would you recommend?

Ceiling speakers are less than ideal, even for music as they are not pointed in the right direction. They point down rather than into the room and are good for flooding it with mediocre sound. Even music suffers unless it’s elevator music or a PA system. Stereo separation suffers, directionality suffers, the first reflection point is the floor (bad room modes), it’s just all around bad news.
In-Wall are recommended over In-Ceiling any day. Most of the major manufacturers like Klipsch, Polk or Paradigm manufacture them. Stay away from Bose, they are all hype and poor performers.
There are in ceiling speakers that are designed specifically for this very case and are very good. They can be found from companies like Russound, SpeakerCraft, Elan, and many others. These companies specialize in integrated audio systems. The Russound Advantage Twist and Tilt models are one example.
