The biggest issue with in-wall or in cieling speakers is not the speaker - it is the wall. All kinds of vibration resonances. Some of these can be dealt with on installation but little on retrofit.

When I have done installs of in-wall on walboard I always doubles up the wallboard on the "Baffle" side and wherever possible installed a 14-3/8" wide MDF Box between the studs.

As for brands - the low end products from BIC were very close to higher end "Speakercraft". My cousin does HT and whole house installs as a full time job (any low voltage - including video and alarms) and he very much recommend the JBL line of product - and Sonance speaker for the highend architectural look
