IMHO, I have whole house audio as well, and with respect to "...the best sound quality..." compared say to even a modest two-channel set up in a dedicated room is looking for something that doesn't exist. Whole house audio is about background music, not serious listening especially with regard to outdoor speakers. What kind of audio can be attained outdoors with infinite baffles?
I spent a reasonable amount of money ranging from $100 to no more than $150 per pair for in walls from Niles, B&W and lastly Nutone (yeah, Nutone). I found that speakers with adjuastble tweaters make the biggest difference in that you can point the highs down to where most people are standing/sitting from high mounted or way off to the side positions. I also bought the largest mid/woofer that would fit in the space.
Hope this helps...
