My dilemma now is I have the option/preference to go with an in-wall speaker system. I really like the clean look but not too sure about sound quality, placement, and imaging of these types of setup (always went with the traditional giant tower systems of which I'm familiar with). Just wanted hear from junkies if they had any luck with this type of setup and any suggestion/advice on brand and model?

I know folks are going to say the usual "go to the store and listen to them for yourself" blah, blah, blah, bs... I know coz I was one of them for the traditional setup . But that's not what I'm after. I know I can do that, and have....

There are actually advantages to in-wall mounting, provided the speakers are well-designed and you let a subwoofer handle all the low bass. Make sure you stick to the same brand and line for at least the front speakers (for all, ideally). I notice you have a lot of Definitive Technology speakers, and they certainly are good ones. Other brands I would consider would be Paradigm and PSB.

Thanks, guys. I'll look into them. Yaw heard of the Martin Logan Architectural Series? I'm going to the local Best Buy Magnolia to give the Ticket a listen.

Right on v-man! I'm only familiar with the Sonance Cinema Series. They're great for movies surround sound?
