I guess I'm going with the general concept that speakers, in general, sound better when they are in a real boxed enclosure - like a dedicated speaker box - as opposed to just being a ceiling speakers with no box enclosure. I definietly have room to try to fit a real speaker with cabinet. It will point downward, just like a true ceiling mount speaker - but maybe the depth and richness of sound will be better sith the speaker in a cabinet pointing down as opposed to a true ceiling speaker?
Mounting bookshelfs flush with ceiling - can you?
Instead of the standard true ceiling speakers for the surround channels in a 5.1 system, has anyone ever tried just mounting a bookshelf speaker flush (totally recessed) with the ceiling via attic? One can always buy a white speaker grill to cover the area in the ceiling. I imagine that a bookshelf in the $250 range (used) will sound better than a true ceiling mount speaker in that range.
Ideas? or am I way off on this concept?
