Anyone with experience with these in ceilings? Sounds like I get some of the LSiM sound but in a very stealthy fashion. I have 22 areas in the house that are wired for speakers but am not going to buy 22 of them obviously, will do a room for now and see how that sounds. Just looking for input.

    Yeah I got 5 of them in the cart right now but I can't decide if I want to install something I can't physically take with me if I move or if I should just buy a pair of 703 but then won't have 5 channel discretely in the room. Definitely want something Polk in my place because I like the company.

    Decisions decisions... argh....

    Why couldn't you take them? Do the cheaper Polk in walls have the same dimensions? Couldn't you just replace them with the cheapest in walls you can find that will fit the same hole as the ones you're looking at?
