Wondering how Triad in-ceiling bronze or silver rounds, or the Sonance VP66R compare to GE Invisas? I'm looking to grow my 7.2.0 system to 7.2.4 when the Marantz SR 7010 is released in September (for Atmos and DTS:X). The only reason I would stray from GE is because I can probably source Triad or Sonance considerably cheaper than the GE equivalents (more than half the cost). My current setup is: Triton Two in front, an SS60C for center, and SS50s all the way around for sides and rears.

The ceiling speakers will only be used for surround/height channels, so I'd like to keep the spend appropriate to their use.

Murphy,

Good question. As always, it's probably a matter of personal preference and resources. I'm sure you know the sound will be more cohesive with the same drivers throughout your system which means the GETs will likely sound better but with the significant cost savings and limited amount of overhead sound, a compromise might not be out of the question.

When shopping to replace my previous speakers for my theater, I knew that I wanted to implement Atmos. GET seemed to put a lot of effort into offering a very wide variety of speakers, all with very similar drivers. This seemed to allow for a great deal of flexibility for an Atmos system. If it were me, I'd save up and go for the GETs but that's just my preference. I don't think anyone here would fault you for going with the less expensive option. Sounds like you can get a good discount and I'm sure it will sound great either way. Let us know what you decide and how it all sounds, please. Pictures would be nice too. I'd like to see a few home installations to get some ideas.

Cheers,
