RE: Can I do 5.1 with ceiling speakers ?

["Jake Liddell" <Jake.Liddell@xxxxxxx>]

http://www.artcoustic.com/ do
some 'picture frame' speakers that are flat l=
ike NXT stuff, but use more traditional technology (and in my opinion
sound=
better for it).  But you can cover them in anything - bold or bland.  They=
sound great too, when supported by a decent sub, but might be considered
"=
pant-wettingly" expensive?  Each of the two left & right speakers
that are =
about the size of a 42" plasma are about a grand, and the 7-way thin
centre=
is just over a grand.  The centre can be tri-wired as L-C-R while you save=
up for the other two, if you want!

Anyway, there's a hi-fi shop in the centre of maidenhead where you can
hear=
them, and also one in Wokingham, I think.  Sure there are plenty of others=
too, but they'll tend to be the more top end shops.

For the rears, M&K do some good sounding speakers that can be ceiling
mount=
ed, for about =A3300 each.  Pricy, but not quite as pricy as those =A3800
S=
onances that I now have to hear before deciding I can't afford them :-)

Haven't heard these speakers so can't vouch for quality.
