Dolby Atmos

in Speakers
I am considering adding Dolby Atmos with 2-4 ceiling speakers. My current speakers are all Polk Audio: RTi A9 fronts, CSi A6 center, RTi A3 rear, FXi A6 surround, and DSW Pro 500 sub. I would be interested in recommendations for a ceiling speaker that would work well with these others. The system has a power amplifier. The room is very large with a 12-foot-plus ceiling. Cost is not a particular concern, but I do not want to spend out of proportion with the existing system. Thank you.

    For me the TC80i are over kill @ $200+ each. on my upgrade list is to replace my 4 in ceiling with MC80 or SC80. If I could do it all over again I would go the 6.5" MC60/SC60. I use RC80 for the rear surround, the do the job very will. When there is rain in the movie it's like it's raining in my room.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.
