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

For the "highend architectural look"?
"High end look"? What exactly is that?
Cousin (lives in Burnsville, BTW) says the Sonance grills mount flush with the wall board and can be painted wall colors. I've never seen them so I cannot elaborate further.

the ones the original owner installed in my home aren't flush mounted, but painted to match the ceiling. Must not have gotten the memo.
As for drivers, I recently replaced the two in the office since the surrounds were shot. Got some GRC full rangers at Parts Express. :)
