You have choices. Those Boston towers are surprisingly natural sounding and work equally well with The Stones, AC/DC, or the Vienna Philharmonic. Tough to replicate that with ceiling speakers.

A quality sound bar/sub system seems to be pretty satisfying for cinema with excellent voice detail. It leaves me wanting for quality music though.

ElectroVoice Evid are the only ceiling speakers I know well enough to comment on. They do look good and blend into the environment and have a tuned enclosure for pretty natural sound. From a typical listening position you get increased reflected sound from walls and floor, with less direct sound. A compromise for sure but maybe a necessary one for fashion conscience wives. If I had to do ceiling mount these would be on my short list.

My compromise has been small modern bookshelf speakers on stands. Not perfect but workable in this room.
