Hey All,

I'm setting up a 5.1 surround sound system in my living room. I have two speakers that are built into the ceiling that can be used as the two back speakers. I am wondering if anyone can give me some advice on a good choice of speakers for the front 3. Hard to find stuff outside of all inclusive packages.

I am not super sensitive price wise but prefer good value over top of the line.

Thanks in advance!

Q1 - Do you already have a receiver?
Q2 - Are you going to use a computer or a stand alone audio/video player?
Q3 - What's your limit?

Note that if ceiling mount speakers system is not properly insulated/isolated... it can't be played loud, otherwise vibration will occur and ruin your sound listening. Therefore you're system built will be limited to what your ceiling speakers is capable, unless you'll scrap that later.

Link below might gives you better idea of what you might consider. If you need to upgrade your selection then you might want to cancel your ceiling speakers on your build.
