Thanks for the suggestion on RB-81 or RB-61. Unfortunately, I need something that is either in ceiling or very low profile that can be surface mounted. The 81 and 61 look like they are pretty deep.

I've got a pair of RF-7's (that I think sound wonderful!) being powered by a 2 channel McIntosh amp. I'm upgrading the system to 5.1 surround sound, what are the best speakers to pair with the RF-7's?
This is what I'm thinking:
2 KS-7502-THX for the rear surround speakers (prefer to no have wall mounted and can't do in-wall in the room)
RC-64 II for the center channel
JL Audio F112 sub
Some audio shop guys are offering that Dynaudio Excite or Contour bookshelf speakers could replace my RF-7's, and to round out the system Dynaudio center and surround speakers would be used. I listened to the Dynaudio's, the Contour sounds nice but unfortunately I can't do a side-by-side comparison. I'm not convinced they sound better.
New 5 channel amp will also be McIntosh.
When I purchased the RF-7's and the amp (about 13 years ago) I was very focused on 2 channel audio only and music reproduction. I'd like to maintain focus on music reproduction with the ability to watch and feel movies the way they are supposed to be watched and felt.

CDT-5800-C II In-Ceiling Speaker seems to be the winner, given my restrictions.
