In-wall speaker recommendations


I'm looking for some in-wall speakers for our 15 x 18 bedroom w/cathedral ceilings and for our great room(open to the dining room, foyer & upstairs) with 24 ft cathedral ceilings.

I've listened to Sonance, Paradigm and B&W all side by side. The B&W's were by far the best. But I just can't justify $600-$800/pair for in-walls(that's almost as much as I paid for my used Vandersteen 3A's). Even the "cheap" B&W's are $400/pair.

Can anyone recommend some good in-walls for closer to $200-$300/pair?

Same dilemna here. I'm setting up my family room... 17x15 with 20 ft. ceiling. I have a pair of Paradigm SA-35's for my front speakers. Seating is by one of the walls, 15ft from the speakers. No real place to put the rear speakers except just behind the seating area, which would be very close to the listener, so I'm thinking of in-ceiling. But is there anything good out there to cover that height? Also, for center speaker, can I get another SA-35 and just set it on its side in the wall under the mounted plasma?

Thanks for any advice.
