Looking for a Home entertainment system?

Home Entertainment System Question?

• We are building a new house and my family is looking to create a home entertainment system. We would like to know what are the best in ceiling speakers to buy and an amplifier and woofer to go with them and how much would it cost

• Answer:

  You could easily spend several thousand dollars on ceiling speakers if you wanted to. This site is a good guide for wall & ceiling speakers. http://www.in-wall-speakers.com/ It even has a guide for installing your speakers. I personally think the best sounding ceiling speakers I've heard are JBL. But everybody's taste in what sounds good is different. It's best to listen for yourself & buy the speakers you think sound best.
