Ceiling Mounted Rear Center Speaker to go with Polk f/x300is? (1 Viewer)

[Bob_F]

OK, I'm building my first surround system and I'll be installing a pair of Polk f/x300i bi-pole/di-pole speakers as the left and right rear surrounds:

Now I need to pick a center rear speaker for mounting on the ceiling. (A ceiling mount is my only option at this point.)

My inclination is to just buy another f/x300i but I'm wondering if there are other models worth considering.

One other model that might provide a cleaner installation is something like the Polk in-wall RC55i:

But I'm wondering if I might be sacrificing sound quality with the in-wall design.

As background, I'll be driving these with a Denon AVR-3801. Up front I have two Monitor Audio Bronze left and right and a BIC DV62CLRs center.

Thoughts or recommendations?

Thanks!

Bob

Bob,

In my experience, in-wall speakers are not that bad. The only bad part about the in-wall speakers is that you need to buy a pair, not just a single speaker.
