NOOB - Speaker Ceiling Recommednations

[kathayes]

I want to buy some Klipsch ceiling speakers for my living room. My plan is to go 5.1 with the traditional three in the front and two in the back and 1 sub mounted flush in the wall. I'd like to spend $250 or less per speaker, I'm definitely not an audiophile, and do not mind having to turn the volume on the receiver up slightly to save some money on buying more expensive speakers. Can someone please provide some recommendations for the following:

 

1. three front spearkers

2. two rear speakers

3. subwoofer

 

Thank you!

I have three recommendations for you:

 

Klipsch CDT-5800 for your 5 speakers.

Klipsch RW-5802 for your in wall subwoofer.

Contact Cory @MetropolisLakeOutfitters for the other info you need.

Are you sure you want all the speakers above you? For your front stage, I personally want the sound in front, not above.

1.) Does it really make much difference for a non-audiophile if the front speakers are in the ceiling or in the wall facing the viewer?

 

2.) Are there issues with putting the sub in the wall? Does it typically rattle the walls much? Anything else to be aware of? If I put a sub into some audio cabinet that will contain the receiver, does that pose issues with rattling the equipment?

 

3.) What gauge of speaker wire should I consider for running pretty far distance to all of these speakers? The wire will be running close to electrical.

 

Thanks!
