Thanks for the replies. I feared as much and will have to rethink my house audio plan. I may be resigned to maintaining a man cave in the basement and a headphone setup in the "office" space.

There are actually quite a few very good sounding in-wall speaker systems. Head over to Sound & Vision and do a search on in-wall speakers to get an idea of what is available. I'm sure some of the other magazine websites will have in-wall articles too.
the wall itself is at least as important.....the same way every speaker needs a certain size box/environment. So not only have I seen that most house walls are totally inconducive to good sound, placement of them is critical and it may not "fit" this new homeowners desired room setup and his furniture.

In wall speakers are 99% of the time a compromise. It's more about the look (or lack thereof) than the sound.
These might be OK for non critical listening like in a home theater or for ambient music around the house. In fact, that's what IMO it only good for. A true audiophile in-wall setup is probably achievable but I can only imagine the expense and effort would be considerable.
Much easier to move into a "music room" (man cave if you must) where you can use a more conventional setup. It allows you to optimize placement and more importantly, change them out if you don't like them after a while.
