I was thinking of using a speaker like this that has a bracket that you could essentially aim similarly. http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/aw-650-overview/

What about ceiling mounted speakers aimed toward my listening spot? The speakers are wired through the ceiling but come out several feet to the side and rear of my seating position which I would think may be helpful in keeping the sound from sounding like it's coming from directly above. I don't necessarily need to recess the speaker into the ceiling but there is no way to run wires to ideal locations from the floor or even on walls. Would these yield significantly improved sound vs. in-ceiling speakers?

I thought of putting them on the walls, but could not have had them symetric due to a door and window on one side and a fireplace and doorway on the other. i was very limited in wallspace when i built the room. Also, the floor is engineered hardwood on a slab, so I don't think i could have run wire neatly to the ideal locations to have speakers on stands. Being that i am pretty well stuck with ceiling speakers, some input on the Klipsch line and what would sound good would be appreciated. i saw what looks like the predecessor to the R-5800-W is the RCW-5 which I see on Ebay right now. Anyone have experience with these? Also, what is the difference between the round "ceiling" type vs the rectangular "wall" ones?

Due to the room's layout, they really need to be in the ceiling.

I am in the market for some rear speakers for my HT setup. I wired the ceiling for 6.1 surround. I've been thinking of going with either the CDT-5800-C or the R-5800-W or possibly the 3800 series instead. My question is, are my going to notice much difference between the round ceiling mounted ones and the rectangular wall ones? Also, the only difference i can see between the specs on the 3800's and the 5800's are the material of the main driver. Is this really going to make much of a difference for rear speakers? While i'm at it, should i get a 3rd one to complete the 6.1 or just do right and left for 5.1? Any other suggestions for speakers? I am running Forte 1's in the front and a Klipsch center (don't remember model),and a KSW 15 sub. i figured the above surround speakers would be a great match and good bang for the buck. I really don't want to spend a fortune on rear speakers as i don't think that they are overly important, but don't want to totally skimp either since i've spent so much on the rest of the setup. Also, i don't want to be disappointed after cutting holes in my ceiling.
