Ernie,
I agree with you in alll the things you've said
about the retangular speakers for the ceiling.
I think that's why Sonance makes the oval shaped
ones. Best of both worlds. I think the Sonance
are about the same price as the Niles speakers
though. do you stock any other in-wall-ceiling
speakers that you can recommend.
Sonance makes the Oval speakers which are called Ellipse for front LCR channles of an in-ceiling surround system. And while it is true that do to the tweeter placement in a round speaker it is harder to get the Frequency responce to be as smooth as the rectangle, the round offer much better range of off axis listening positions. The rectangle are limited to on and horizontal off axis for good sound where as the round are the same from evey off axis degree.
