What in-ceiling speakers best match the kpt-904 system? (for Atmos)

I'm about to get a pair of kpt-904's to start my new "pro" set up. I'll still need a third for the center and either kpt-8's or 12's for surrounds, haven't decided yet. In thinking of the future with Dolby Atmos, I'm thinking a 13 or 15 channel set up will be ideal. The ceiling speakers will be a set of front heights, side heights and rear heights. I'm wondering if I can get away with the reference series Klipsch CDT-5800-C II speakers. However I have a feeling the better match would be the KL7502THX Ultra2. Question is will they be $600 per speaker better?

I feel the reference works pretty nice with the 904s for side and back duty. But that's with them pretty close to the lp. I think output is the biggest thing to think about. If your sides and back are a good distance away I would stay with the pro stuff. For the celling I don't know.

Bill Hendrix son had 3 kpt904s for sale if you are still looking.

I'm about to get a pair of them, but still need a third for the center. The guy I'm buying them from says he knows another guy who should be selling a pair soon, he and I would each buy one, we both need centers. However a bird in the hand... where is the guy with three? Whats he asking? And would he be willing to sell just one?

The ceiling speakers are a ways off anyway, plenty of time to ponder that. For surrounds I like the VBATS, trying to decide between the 8's or the 12's, I'm thinking the 8's might be all I'd need.
