Mount LSI7s or Inwall?

I've been seriously thinking about getting the LSI 7s for my surround speakers in a 5.1 setup. I'd prefer to go with the 7s over an inwall/inceiling speaker, but the WAF would be higher with an inwall setup.

Would wall mounting these interfere with the rear firing bass ports?

If inwall is the way to go, which speaker would be a good match for the LSI (15s and C) series?

    Lci series my man. They are fantastic and sound exactly like the 7's in a inwall version. For surround, you will be very pleased and score a few points with the wife.

    I'm cool with both things here.

    So two center channels as my surrounds? Or just one? Are these roughly comparable to the LC65fxs or LC80is?

    No, not centers (LSiC) as surrounds.

    I think he meant LCi series in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, such as the two you mentioned. LC65i or LC65fx are in-walls close to lsi7 or lsifx. The LC80i is I think a round in-ceiling speaker.
