They're pretty small, only rated at 3-15w.  Plus I thought the normal
mounting position for surround speakers (apart from the sub) should be at
'ear level', so I'm not sure that putting everything into the ceiling would
sound right, the audio sweet-spot would be floating above your head
somewhere.  I know these are directional, but the lack of power would
indicated they're not suitable for an a/v set up, particularly in a large
room.

Then again, I'm no expert either.

Subject: [ukha_d] Ceiling speakers for TV/music

I'm looking to get some ceiling speakers to connect to my amp for TV/movie
and audio to replace wall mounted ones.

Now, I'm not an audiophile but have relatively sensitive hearing, so don't
want something that will sound tinny and crap.

As a starting point, what do the experts think about these:

The room is about 4m * 10m
