Best in-ceiling speakers for audio


I have searched this forum and it seems most folks use in-ceiling speakers for surrounds in home theatre applications.

I need some in-ceiling speakers for an audio application. It is a bit strange because I have a room that's about 15' wide and 20' long, and the speakers have to be about 15" to 30" off one of the 15' long walls. Listening will be mostly on the other side of the room, not quite 20' away. It is a family room, so no one "listening position" per se. The ceiling is about 11' high.

Most of the in-ceiling speakers I have seen mentioned here are round and point straight down. I'm not sure that would be optimal here. I have checked out some Definitive Technologies UIW RCS II, which look like they "point" the sound in one direction.

Any idea if these speakers are any good? Any other recommendations?

I would also suggest that you investigate Mirage, who make omnipolar speakers. They make an in-ceiling version as well. It's called an "omnican". It goes in the ceiling cavity light a potlight, but there is a small half-globe which will protrude below ceiling level so that it can radiate sound in all directions. It looks a bit like the ceiling globes that hold security cameras in stores.
