The Best Surround "Ceiling" speaker out there?

I would agree with johnj...the thiel powerpoints would be the best choice if you can surface mount.

JM LAB

Best ceiling surface mount (14') for L/R Surround speakers directly above listening area? Must be compatible with B&W 802's (for L/R)and B&W Center.

I have some Mirage in-ceiling speakers that extend out of the ceiling to give the omni-directional sound dispertion, which I love in surround mode. If you want a more direct speaker, maybe the Gallo A'divas or Micros. They both mount in the ceiling, but protrude...not sure if that workd for your needs.

Cheers,
Mot
