In-Ceiling Speakers to Match Trilam Tweeter

Does anyone have any experience/recos for in-ceiling speakers that would match well with the older trilaminate tweeters in the LS and RTi series?

Thinking about doing some layout changes to my media room, possibly going to in-ceiling speakers for the surround L/R.

Current speakers are LS90 for front L/R, CS400i center, and FX500i surround L/R. I've never liked where the FX500i are mounted, due to room constraints.

So, the in-ceiling speakers would replace the FX500i.

The info I've found on Polk's website and other websites is unclear in terms of what in-ceiling speakers would be the best match. For example, some websites indicate that the RCi series matches RTi and others have indicated that they match the Monitor series.

Polk's website indicates that the TCi series matches the RTiA series. However, TCi ceiling speakers are not in stock anywhere I have looked (possibly discontinued?).

Thanks,

Adam

    OK, thanks.

    I'll look around for TCi ceiling speakers. Pretty pricey at $400-700 a pair though.
