Best Ceiling Speakers?


Looking to build small a theater in the family room. Its a small room 16x19. Looking to put the 46 inch Sony above the fireplace on the longer wall. I want ceiling speakers because i dont want the clutter. Cherry wood paneling on the walls and dont want to cut through it. Any Ideas on some good speakers? Unfortunately center channel would have to be in ceiling as well.

For this type of system, I am going to commit herasey on this board, and say the Definitive Technology Ceiling speakers are great. So are the Niles HD ceiling speakers. The Def Tech 63 or 84's are a great choice, and put out a surprising amount of bass without building resonance boxes around them. I have helped a couple of friends build systems almost exactly as you describe yours with these speakers and usually a Denon 2808 (or similar) reciever. Very nice set up.

If you add the Def Tech sub, the sound matches extremely well. Also, for the center channel, a couple of times we have omitted the center channel all together, and programmed the processor to put the center channel sound through the Front R & L speakers. Simple, but very nice set up. good luck.
