Good In-Ceiling Speakers??


Anyone have a recommendation for a good cost-effective in-ceiling speaker for home theatre for new construction? - Tim

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, my dealer/friend sells Speakercraft and I was looking at a pair of AIM4's (8" 2-way). I really like their outdoor speakers and am disappointed to hear Elevick did not like their in-ceiling. Maybe some more searching is in order. - Tim
I'd suggest you consider B&W CCM80

and
Boston Acoustics VRI585

I have both in different rooms and am quite happy with them for the price. I use the B&W in theater setting for both surrounds and for backs. I have B&W 804 and HTM2 up front.
Like any speaker... a good ceiling speaker will be housed in a good cabinet.

Check out Snell and Triad. Snell's 720, 760 and 800, as well as Triad's In-Ceiling Bronze, Silver and Gold all sound better than ceiling speakers that lack back boxes.
