I need some advice on speakers for a 7.1 system. We are remodeling our family room and I recently purchased the Outlaw 970/7075 preamp processor and amplifier system. I've been considering the Orb speaker system, which would work OK for the front speakers and subwoofer placement but our family room is adjacent to the kitchen area so I only have one side wall to mount the surround speakers so I'm considering mounting them in the ceiling.

Would it work to place the surround speakers in the ceiling? If so, does any one have any recommendations for good quality ceiling speakers that would complement the Orbs? Orbs can be mounted on the ceiling with brackets but I would prefer to mount the speakers in the ceiling.

I suppose I could place the rear speakers on a rear wall or I can just use this as a 5.1 system for the time being.

I'd appreciate any comments or advice.
