Despite your insistence that you are not a serious listener (at least it sounds that way to me), if you insist on a built-in solution, you might consider 'in-wall' rather than ceiling speakers. Imaging is much improved if the speakers are at eye-level. Google will be your best friend here. I don't think too many serious listeners will have much experience with either solution; but as I said, I think you'd much rather have them in the wall than above your head. One caveat: if you share a floor, ceiling or wall with an adjacent unit, you'll do well to investigate whether there will be sufficient isolation if you install a speaker on that common boundary. jak |

That is why I am opting for in-ceiling speakers. you apparently have a grasp on what we are trying to do. can you suggest some speakers? thanks |
