I am currently working on my theater room and have SCM1's as rears. We hope to do 2 rows and due to the size of the room, this will put the back row only a few inches from the back wall. This would mean that the SCM1's would be above those sitted there, instead of behind.
My wife wants to do a second zone in the house at some point, so I have been looking at b&w's in-wall speakers. I came across the CWM 8180, which appears to be a new 3 way in-wall comperable to the 800 series speaker, maybe close to the 804s(?) but a lot less money since there is no cabinet. I was thinking that maybe I could sell the SCM1's and get these and put them in the back wall, or in the ceiling above.
I don't have any experience putting surround speakers in the ceiling, so I don't know how effective that actually would be. It seems the it would locallize a lot of the sound. Obviously it would be heard elsewhere, but how well? And since they would only be surround speakers, would that really matter?
Please provide feedback and opinions.
Thanks!
