Ceiling Speakers

I know the very topic precludes anything any of us would consider hi-end sound.  But my neighbor is putting a great room onto his house and is asking me for recommendations as to in-ceiling (i.e., flush mounted) speakers.  So far I have succeeded in pulling him away from Bose, but am having trouble pushing him toward something good.  The feedback on these looks favorable, and I appreciate the design principles:  https://rslspeakers.com/c34e-ceiling-speaker/  

If you have heard anything reasonably priced (let's say $300 or less per speaker) that sounds good, please respond.

Thanks!

I've got in-ceiling speakers throughout my home.  One thing is a MUST.  Get speakers in sealed boxes.  The sealed aluminum enclosures do 2 things: 1-they keep the sound from reverberating throughout the house.  2-the sealed enclosure is designed for that specific speaker.  Some sealed boxes are ported out the front which is ok.
My favorite speakers would be Thiels which mount on the ceiling, not in it.  The ML's are good.  I like my Paradigms a lot.  My QSC do a nice job too.
