Need advice on swapping out ceiling speakers

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
In my current home, I have a pair of Boston Acoustics DSi495 8" 3-way ceiling speakers as the fronts. We are getting ready to move, and unfortunately, BA has discontinued this model. I really like the way these speakers sound, and since I can't buy them again for the new house I'm thinking about trying to take them down & replace them with something else easier to find/less expensive.

The problem I'm running into is that the DSi495's require a 10.75" mounting hole, which apparently is big for an 8" speaker. I haven't been able to find another 8" speaker that requires such a large mounting hole. Ideally, I'd just like to pop out the BA's and pop in their replacements. Any suggestions?
