For my situation I have a wall on each side of the listening area. Currently I have a surround speaker mounted on each side, but the speakers look very out of place and also get bumped when walking around the couch.
An in-wall speaker seems like it would be perfect, they would face each other just like my current setup, but they would be flush with the wall and make the room look much better.
Since I currently use cheap Paradigm Micros with 4" drivers for surrounds, I would assume that in-wall speakers would come close to the sound that I am getting now, especially if I got the bigger 6" drivers. FWIW, I don't listen loud at all, just normal television viewing volume, maybe a notch or two higher for big action movies.
In my situation, do you still think my current surrounds would sound a good amount better than if I switched to in-walls?
