Ceiling 6.0 Speaker Setup + 1.1 In-Wall (Possibly 7.0 + Regular 0.1) ~ $2000

--This thread has been notably altered--

Alright, so I have a bit of a challenge for you guys. I hardly know anything about speakers that go in the ceiling (or in-wall for that matter) but after much argument, this is what my parents said they want in their living room because they want nothing on the floors. I barely convinced them of the subwoofer. They drilled the holes for wires in the places I told them and basically, I figure the following is what I need...

Ceiling speakers are usually circular and commonly around an 8" diameter so that's what I told them it will most likely be. They now expect that so I hope I wasn't wrong. The back speaker pair will obviously need to be able to tilt or at least be built already tilted at a predetermined angle. The side pair needs to be facing down as they will practically be right above.

The only thing about the in-wall speakers is that they need to be square.

I presume the right way to go about this is up to $400 per ceiling pair, $500 for a L/R front speaker pair, $300 for the Center speaker, and up to $500 for the subwoofer. A little more for whichever of those three would be okay, if there's something that'll be found that's well worth it, relative to whatever is for less. If you're wondering about a receiver, we already have one It's pretty good - a Yamaha. I didn't check if it has calibration (as it isn't mine), but regardless, it's not of concern for what I need help with.

Suggestions for any part of this setup are really appreciated. Thanks in advance, sincerely.

**Some more info might be necessary that I didn't think of so please ask if it helps

Wow, things move really fast almost everywhere on this forum.

Anyway, I've edited the thread to what's final now. I can also now list the recommendations so far. Things are a bit muddled (at least for me) so I'm not entirely sure what to make from all of it. Maybe you guys can help or add to it. To be honest though, I'm not very fond of the current choices and for the most part, the speakers can actually go for a bit more financially.

Speakercrafts such as these (+3) have also been suggested but they're too expensive.

There hasn't really been too much consistency with what people recommend like there has been with other things in the past, as detailed below...

It's very difficult with speakers, especially because of the level of subjectivity and people's lack of experience with an ample amount of different speakers, even more so when it also has to fall under a specific category (type/price). I get a large amount of suggestions, and technical details rarely mean much unless the differences are vast, so how do I decide?

Before it was easy for me when I was choosing 5.1 speakers for my computer. The Logitech Z-5500 HTiB which I ended up getting for $300 was absolutely ridiculous for the price. There's nothing else that compares in that range - one of the best purchases I have ever made. When I was choosing IEM headphones from $50-$80, maybe 10 stood out and from there I picked out the kind of sound I was looking for based on consistent details in descriptions/reviews. There isn't too much consistency with these speaker recommendations so I just have no clue...

I'm sorry for this info lacking post, but is there something wrong with my query? This forum has the most amount of people and in all this time, nobody has anything to say? Doesn't anybody have an interest in speakers and know maybe something badass about some in-walls/in-ceilings? This is the "Speakers" section after all... It doesn't get more topic related than this.

Somebody please help I'd really be grateful. It's kinda getting to the point of urgency.
