I am doing a major remodel/rebuild and would like to use in-wall/ceiling speakers throughout the house. My question is: are in-wall and in-ceiling speakers interchangable? They look very different, but is there a problem with mounting, for intance, a rectangular RCW-5 in the ceiling? Do in-walls with separate horns sound better than the round RCR-5? Do they project sound differently? If I can fit either of them into the ceiling just as easily (very deep joists in a large volume ceiling), is there a preference? Sorry for the newbie question. As a bonus question: I am installing a four sets throughout the house, hooked up to a central source. I would like to have volume controls in each room. I assume I will need a separate booster amp for each pair. Is this wired in before the volume switch or after? The whole house is opened up right now, so I have a lot of latitude over the next few weeks as ar as how things are wired. Thanks for any help, sorry if the question is silly. Also apologize for the repost -- this appears to be a more appropriate forum for this question.
