The speakers that we recommend are in the table above. You can also sort by size, price and brand with the drop down menus above the table. The 3 top brands that we like the most based on value/performance trade offs are InwallTechâ„¢, MAS Audio and ArchiTech. You'll see these in surround sound kits, whole house audio kits and in our personal shopping areas. You'll read that we call these great "bang for the buck" type equipment. Typically pick a round speaker for a ceiling mount application. We tend to see round objects in the ceiling like light fixtures. On walls we usually see things rectangular like pictures, mirrors and window shapes.
