Default Recommend rear speakers for 7.1?

Can you recommend a pair of in-wall or small rear speakers to use in a
7.1?. These are the rear center pair of surrounds.

These are not ideally located as they will be above windows about 80" at
top. So if in-walls hopefully there is some way to aim them down towards
the listening position.

I mounted by bookshelves on that wall but the are esthically too big and
ruin the balance of the room.

My other speakers are Acoustic Research L,R&C. The two side sorrounds and
JBL in-wall (2 way) with 6.5inch woofer and fixed position tweeter.

Any thoughts appreciated and a way to go here.
thanks!


Any reason you are avoiding use of same for the rear speakers?

Other thoughts:

* small used bookshelves from earlier eras - ADC made some good sounding,
very small (ie 6" x 10") speakers, EPI did something similar, AR4's, etc.
* slanted baffle commercial speaker enclosures, but with transplanted high
end drivers. Sound quality could be quite dicey, however.
