Appreciate the info. I will be having the traditional 5.1 configuration and will have to add the in-ceiling speakers to that. Current targeted receiver was the Yamaha 7.2 (which can do 5.2.2), but was wondering if I should spend extra on a 9.2 receiver for 5.2.4 capability. In your experience, does 4 in-ceiling speakers make the experience good enough to pursue this configuration? Going from 7.2 to 9.2 could be ~$1000 jump just for the receiver from what I see in the marketplace. Thanks!
