Good In-Ceiling Speakers??

I've had more garbage than good. Speakercraft really disappointed me.
Niles has been good and I was really impressed with Paradigm for the money.

Triad Silver or monitor are pretty incredible. I'm not a fan of in wall or in ceiling speakers--but these make a believer even out of me.

The other interesting speaker that I've auditioned but never had in a home theater is the BG (Bolenger Grabel). It's a ribbon technology. Typically not high enough SPL for theater--but these may be able to produce. I'm interested if there's anyone out there that have used these in a theater.

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.
