I would appreciate some ideas on speaker selection

[EJC]

We are in the process of purchasing a new home and of course I'll be reinstalling my home theatre in the new house.

The area for the setup is an open area. I have access to run wire through the attic or the basement. There is no room for speaker stands or mounting on the wall

The receiver is a Yamaha RX-A1070 so power and speaker options are not a problem.

Front main R&L will be Klipsch Forte IIs
Center will be a BA VRC 

My thoughts are to go with speakers mounted in the ceiling. - 2 front and 4 rear.
I have not looked at ceiling speakers in a good many years.

I'd love to hear ideas for decent speakers for in-ceiling mounting
Also, will I need a baffle to protect the exposed cones in the attic

Thanks
