There is no definitive "best" of anything. There are way too many variables involved. The "best" you can hope for is to find something that works well in your system. You can then say it's the "best" for you until you find something you think is better !!!!
best in-ceiling speakers
Dear Gents and Ladies,
I will greatly appreciate your advice to get best in-ceiling speakers.
I was suggested to go with THX Ultra-2 speakers for 5.1 home theatre.
It is not a separate HT room - The floor is open concept and the area is shared with dining and kitchen.
Speakers must be in-ceiling.
Please advise for the case when money is not an issue.
I looked around and found Polk Audio RTS100 and Klipsch KS-7502-THX:

_www.klipsch.com/ks-7502-thx-in-ceiling-speaker
It seems that both products were release quite a while ago so I am not sure.
Also, Polk RTS100 peaker is not quite seamless in ceiling and you can see a "cone" which I do not like. On another hand, Klipsch KS-7502-THX speaker is not angled and I feel it may be a problem to direct the sound towards listening position.
Some people recommend going with Paradigm Signature in ceiling.
Though I somehow feel that several drivers are better that a single driver (that what Paradigm Signature in-ceiling has).
There are also pretty expensive B&W square in-ceiling speakers which I have been considering:

,but it is not mentioned that they are THX Ultra-2 speakers.
Additionally, I came across Sonance cinema speakers: LCR1S and LCR.5S

_www.sonance.com/files/downloads/file/Cinema%20In-Ceiling%20Manual_080909Final.pdf
, But it is also not mentioned that they are THX Ultra-2 speakers.
How important is it to have in-ceiling speakers to be THX Ultra-2 speakers?
I will greatly appreciate your help here.
Thank you so much for your help!
