    Looking for a decent "In-wall" surround setup:

    I was hoping I could get some feedback on a 6.1 in-wall Klipsch speaker option. The only speaker I have made a decision on is the sub...and that's the Sub-12. I looking for the the following (not high end, but not the cheapest - just a nice bang for the buck:) Can anyone give me a decent model # to check out?

     

    center channel - In wall

    left front - in wall

    right front - in wall

    rear right - in celing

    rear left - in celing

    rear center - in ceiling

     

    Thank you for any help!!

    Thank you for the input Bob.  I'm new to the Klipsch surround sound, so I just started my research.

     Do you know how these compare to the RCW-5 & RCR-5?  I know these run a little more, but are they worth the extra $$$?

    These are lower cost models than the RCW -5 etc.  The woofer uses a plastic cone rather than cerametallic and the tweeter is an aluminum diaphragm rather than titanium.  Crossover components are both lower and cost and simpler in design.  Given your request for a mid priced combo, I thought this series would be a good choice.  RCW and RCR or their new equivalents (5000 series) will yield better sound.

    Sounds like your combo is more in my price range....but if I do go wit the RCW/RCR series, would I use a RCW-5 as the center channel, or does Klipsch make a true center channel in-wall speaker?

    Thanks!

    FYI for those interested

    We bought out all the RCW-5 and RCR-5 from Klipsch. They are discounted to $379 per pair

    An identical speaker for center channel is always best if you can install it. 

    There will be "true" centers but if I say more you have to kill me.
