How effective is an inceiling speakers?

[stygz]

I am getting some light pressure that my RF 62's take up space in the living room. Currently I am using Klipsch CTD 5650's for surrounds. I was wondering if anyone has experienced a full five channel set up in the ceiling? How effective is a total inceiling system? Not sure if I would pick up 3 more 5650"s or what. It is nice I can angle the tweeter. I have a single PC2000 for a sub.

The only time I've heard a complete in-ceiling setup was during the "Parade of Homes" in a high end home.  Honestly, I was not impressed in the least.  The main problem I had was it was very unnatural for the sound from what I was seeing on the screen in front of me was coming down from above me.  I can maybe see how in-ceilings could work for surrounds but IMO, definitely not for your front soundstage.  In-Walls would work better for the front but I believe this would be a significant compromise to what you have now.

I would think in-wall is a better alternative to putting everything in the ceiling.  Remind me of some doctors office with the elevator music, lol.

Define "light pressure", and is it worth it to compromise your existing sound? I would never go in-ceilings, especially to replace a perfectly good set of floorstanders.
