Heyaz! I'm moving into a new house next week & I originally planned an all Klipsch Reference series HT with RF3II (front), RFC3II (center) and RS3II (surround). The original plan was to ceiling mount the rear surrounds as the kitchen is directly behind the HT room. I have speaker wire runs in the ceiling. The in ceiling speaker runs were not custom, they were included in the house. I just did a final walk thru & decided that there is no way I can mount the RS3II's in the ceiling because:
1) Too Big
2) They are directly over the listening area (my recliner location) so the only way I would hear them is to point them straight down which would cut off the rest of the room...and look silly.
The layout is very similar to the diagram here:

Sadly, I'll have to refuse the UPS guy...my RS3's are coming today.
The alternatives are:
1) Bookshelf speakers on stands: (RB-3II's)

2) In ceiling speakers firing straight down and agled into the room RCR5)

The in ceiling speakers would work best for the room but will I get good surround? Also, my reciever is a Pioneer Elite v-41 (the cheap one) that puts out "110 watts" to all channels. Should I be concerned that the in ceiling Klipsch speakers are 50 watts maximum continuous (200 watts peak)
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA,
Jeff
