    desperately seeking advice on built in ceiling/wall speakers

    I currently have two pairs of B&W 603 speakers (one for front and the other for rear) with a centre B&W CC6. As I am currently renovating the house I am seriously thinking of trading them in for built in wall/ceiling spekers for the simple reason that they are 'child proof'. I understand I am compromising but can anyone please advise on what speakers I should consider, pros and cons between ceiling vs wall and ideal set ups.

    If you want to stick with B&W, they have a line of in-wall/in-ceiling speakers.



    The price will range from $150 each for the small in-ceiling CCM50's up to $1700 each for the in-wall Signature 8NT.

    The most common brands I see higher end theater designers use are :

    Triad - http://www.triadspeakers.com/productmap.html

    James Loudspeaker - http://www.jamesloudspeaker.com

    Both James and Triad have in-wall subwoofers too, if you want a completely uncluttered room.

      Hi everyone,
