It saves you a lot of hassle with wall-mount or (worse yet) floor-mount surround speakers, with little to no penalty in staging and sound quality. More adventurous users might even want to go ceiling-mount for the whole system. This has a negative impact on staging but it frees up a lot of space on shelves and walls.

Take that 15th century proverb regarding children— they should be seen, not heard—and reverse it. Now you understand the appeal of ceiling-mounted speakers— they should be heard, not seen. Traditional two-wire speaker systems aren’t going away any time soon, so the best way to make sure you won’t fall afoul of future developments is to physically wire your system. If you’re worried about the audio quality of ceiling speakers, you can set those concerns to rest with this Klipsch speaker, which was designed for superior sound. It features a 1-inch titanium tweeter and a 6.5-inch pivoting cerametallic woofer that allows you to angle the direction of the sound during installation for the best effect. The speaker even has tweeter and mid-bass attenuating switches, so you can tweak them to get the sound profile that you want.These small drivers take care of the higher frequencies in audio. A good quality tweeter helps carry across the details of music and audio. With ceiling speakers, tweeters are located on a stalk protruding from the centre of a subwoofer - this helps save space.

Output wattage When you think of immersing yourself in sound, the kind of 5.1 or 7.1 speaker system you get with a surround sound home cinema setup may spring to mind. But they’re not the same. Ceiling speakers are great for delivering music of course, but they’re also an excellent addition to your home cinema setup. You can hook them up to your overhead effect channels, such as Dolby Atmos if your amp supports that. As a general rule, you need an audio source and an amplification source. The audio source can be a CD player, a record player, a digital media player, or even a Bluetooth receiver that works with your phone.

The Bose® 791 Virtually Invisible® in-ceiling speaker's combination of two tweeters and a 17.8cm woofer provides spacious stereo sound for your favourite music. You'll also enjoy the deep low notes of dramatic film sound effects. This makes the Bose® 791 Virtually Invisible® in-ceiling speakers ideal for a rear-channel option in a home cinema setup.
