When I was researching speakers for my home entertainment center, I was wary about considering in-ceiling speakers, knowing that they possibly couldn't be on-par with floor-standing or bookshelf speakers. All the articles had said how bad in-ceiling speakers are; tinny, lacking depth, and generally too hollow to be taken seriously.
HOWEVER, after realizing that all of those articles were written over 3-4 years ago (which is decades as far as technology goes), I decided to look into these. They were voice-matched with my RTi speakers so it was an easy call. I ordered them with my fingers crossed and hopes high.
The installation was fairly easy, although be warned: most of the wire tracker kits on here are pretty trash. You get what you pay for when it comes to that. If you already know where your wires are though, it's fairly easy. You cut a hole based on the template they provide you, and pop the speakers in there. A few quick turns with a screw driver, and you've got yourself some professional looking in-ceiling speakers. (And I'm serious, they look PRO. People were asking us how many thousands it cost us to get them installed.)
Now to the important stuff: the sound quality. It's amazing. Seriously. We've had some of those "Bose Lifestyle" systems with the little box speakers, and these absolutely blow those away. Our current setup is a pair of older RTi floor standing speakers in the front, with a Polk Audio CSI A6 Center Channel Speaker (Single, Black) as the center channel. Then we have two of these babies in the back and it's smooth sailing in the world of home entertainment.
Bottom line: these speakers are relatively inexpensive for the sound quality they provide, and look stunning in our home theater installation. They look professional, and they also come with a detachable grille so that you can spray paint them to match your room. Highly recommended for those looking to fill out the back channels of a 5.1 with in-ceiling speakers.

These are worth the money if you want great sound and don't want to be cluttered with surround sound speakers. They have awesome sounds, both with television and music. We just use two in our 20' high ceilings and are thrilled with the crisp, clear sound.
