Best 8" In-Ceiling Rears/Surrounds $100-150

435 Views 6 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  cocrh
Hi all,

I'm looking for the best bang-for-buck Rear or Surrounds (not sure if i'll stay at 5.1 forever). I'm looking at Polk RC60i, Yamaha NSIC800 and the Micca Reference that range from $100-130 for the pair.

Current setup is:

Denon X1400h
KefQ150 for L/R
Emotiva C1 Center

Mainly looking for something with great punch and clarity. Not sure if I need to go 3 way on the in ceilings, but overall curious what you all can recommend.

TIA!

Why do you need 8” in ceilings?

Kef makes a good 6.5” or 5.25” in ceiling that would match the best.
Klipsch REFERENCE SERIES CDT-5800-C II

I got 6 of these for $200 ea on Ebay.

Well my ceiling is pretty high, about 15-18ft and I wanted them to sound more full range vs having to spend more to match timbre, which with the Q150 and C1 I can barely tell. And where can I find pair of Kefs for uner $200? A4L has refurbs for $99 EACH.
Is it okay to bump threads? Hope so!

Just wanted to hear a few more recs if possible.
