In Ceiling speakers for a high-rise apartment

Thank you for your responses. Here is more information:

This basically going to be new system, nothing has been purchased.

Sound quality is important to me.
I do not often watch TV or movies; I am listening to music via my ipod. When I do watch TV or movies I do appreciate a good sound. All this will be in one room. I also have a patio that I would like to have outdoor speakers set up through same system. Again, good sound quality is important. The floor is marble and behind the front speakers is all glass. Not a great room acoustically.

I was looking at ceiling speakers for aesthetics only. Front speakers
I could go with, floor or shelf speakers. The back speakers (if necessary) must be wall mounted speakers.

I hope this helps; thanks again for all your comments!

My budget is $7K this would include 2-channel amp, pre-amp, speakers.
I am now looking at FS speakers for the front.

Thanks

Sorry for the confusion on this. To clear things up:
I listen to music more than I watch TV or movies. I do not need a surround type system. A great stereo system is all that I want. If I can get movies or TV to sound better through the system.. even better. This is why I was thinking of a 2-channel system.. is my thinking correct for this?

Correct, no ceiling speakers. I decided not to compromise the sound quality.
I had planned to add outdoor speakers to this set up. It is a small patio. Will this set up work for that?

Thanks

No offense taken at all.
I am now researching things that can be done to make the room better acoustically. If you have a website for this i would appreciate if you could pass that along. I believe this must be worked out 1st. Which Simaudio pieces do you recommend?

Thanks
