Well originally I was going to have a MC85 as a center and it was only late that I realized that it wasn't a "true" center and all it was was a side speaker on its side - but they suggested that because of the 16' limit between studs. The LCic is powerful but can still fit in-wall and between studs.

And yeah, the reason we're going in-wall is to make the room look cleaner. It's a living room and if I had 7 speakers lining up in the room I might really like it but my wife definitely would not lol

So I decided to give in-wall a try and, well, they do look awesome in the walls. Eventually I will upgrade the front left and right with the LCic equivalent, but right now they are too expensive. I just hope they sound as good as they look!
