Are you looking for 5 in-ceiling speakers? What is the purpose of this (movies, music, etc)?

 

[Braehole]

Movies and gaming

I was thinking four in ceiling and three front wall speakers for my FR,FL and center speakers

Trying to fill a 6K cu ft room with $100 in-wall and in-ceiling speakers will be a challenge? I guess you could take a look at monoprice. What are you using now for speakers?

 

[Braehole]

I'm not at home right now but I just moved into a bigger house.(2600 square feet) I have 6 Sony, 100watt tower speakers. and a 10" sub

 

[Braehole]

I have to many windows on the walls so I have to use the ceiling. 20 feet is a long way up there... Any feed back or suggestions would be great. Even if I should up grade my reciever for more watts

How about a 5-1/4 Inches Center Channel Micro-Flanged In-Wall Speaker - 8 Ohm, and 6, 6-1/2 Inches Dual Woofer- Micro Flange In-Ceiling Speakers - 6 Ohms OR.... 7, 6-1/2 Inches 3-Way High Power In-Wall Speaker from monoprice

 

[Braehole]

The room is 20 feet long but 10 feet of that is kitchen and 10 is my living room area. If that helps...

I guess I would start by tlistening to a few to see if you like the sound. You may be able to audition speakercraft at a neighborhood installer show room. Based on a budget of $700, I would recommend only spending $40-$50 on the 4 surrounds leaving $180 to $200 per front left, center and right main speakers. If possible, I would spend even more on your center speakers since the majority of the sound will come from there.


Hope this helps
