Looking for ON Wall speakers
I now have Revel Speakers for my three fronts.
20 Years ago, I installed three in wall Thiel speakers for my back and surround. This was way before even 5.1 Dolby sound was released. Now, I have much better fronts, a great amp for the back and, of course, Blu Ray sound. I need to upgrade my rears and surround. I also feel that ON wall sounds better than In wall. So I am asking if anyone has advice.
My dealer recommended two:
Gold FX | Monitor Audio
and

If you plan on keeping the Revels, and really why would you not, why not keep it in the family?
There's always the Revel Performa3 S206. I haven't heard them but I have to think that they don't suck.
REVEL | S206 Surround Speaker

I love Revel, but hate two way speakers. I think they are dipoles. I originally had dipoles and hated them. They just do not work in my room!

What about using the M105s? I bet you can find wall brackets for them.
Ask your dealer.
