I appreciate your remembering me with these in-walls. Thanks. But I don't even know yet if I should be thinking in-walls at all, not to mention which in-walls. I need a coherent speaker setup, from the front to in-ceiling side surrounds, to possible on-wall rears. I know you asked for the dimensions and pics of the cabinets before you can recommend between my two alternatives of: converting the front of the cabinet into a "wall" and using in-walls Vs. putting bookshelf speakers inside

[quote user="jamesV"] Well first off, Welcome To The Forum. It really would be nice to have a budget as that would likely set the boundaries as to everything needed. Also if the budget would include both speakers and receiver. [quote user="kjgarrison"]but I have a feeling that anything under $2,000 is highly unlikely[/quote] Did you mean over? Well it that said, is it totally out of the question to use a wall mount speaker for the side surrounds? I seen that you have a wall on

Anybody? Just need to know best way to deal with a cabinet and what speaker models to match that with in-ceiling surrounds and on-wall rears.

Hello all. I looked a lot through the website and the possibilities are dizzying. Exsiting home. I am at the planning stage of a 5.1 or 7.1 speaker arrangement. Probably 7.1, since the speaker wires are already there for the rears. Planning to have a Yamaha 3800 or comparable Denon AVR, probably also with use of an old Yamaha M-80 power amp I have for the front L&R. So I need speakers that can take whatever power this would involve. Room is a family room: W,L,H are 10' x 22' x 8.5'
