Anyone have an opinion on this? I was thinking this might sound better than a normal in-wall speaker.

However, if it will sound really bad compared with normal wall-mounting, I'll pass on it. I'm thinking the baffle effect has a chance of screwing this idea up.

I wouldnt mind hearing what others think on this also. I will be doing a 7.1 set-up and would like to do something very close to that. I was looking to install the HTM-200's in a soffet with crown moulding. Has any one tried a in-wall type application with these?

I am folllowing up on your post regarding putting the 200s in the wall. I have a game room being constructed and wife does not want black boxes for the rears. On the other hand, I do not want to loose the sound quality by going into the ceiling.

Did you put the 200s in the wall and if so, how was the sound?

I still have not ordered the rear surrounds yet and I'm working on outdoor projects so I have not got to the speaker mounting/remodel stage yet. But I know someone must have done it. Just want to hear how it came out!

by placing any speaker in-wall you are altering the baffle compensation, which can have unpredictable results as far as FR is concerned. Ultimately only you can judge if it sounds good and is acceptable

I understand that putting speakers into the wall/ceiling will have an effect on the baffling. As an alternative, I was going to put an enclosure around the speaker, such as if it was on a bookshelf.
Any thoughts on that solution?

Tom3123, perhaps this (http://forum.ascendacoustics.com/showpost.php?p=15482&postcount=5) will help regarding in wall placement.

Ascend has addressed the sonic issues of an extended baffle with the EXBAC circuitry in the 340 center. I wonder how effective this would be for an in-wall mounted application (much larger baffle compared to a TV). Maybe a Davef designed EXBAC 200 in-wall model would be appropriate here.
