Summary:
Life is full of compromises, but this one didn't hurt too much. Sure, the sound is coming from above which may not be acceptable to all, but I now have rear speakers that the kids won't knock over and my wife can't put houseplants on. These RCR-3s are (surprisingly) clear and robust, especially compared to the similarly priced units I auditioned. Maybe I had really low expectations, but for my situation (mostly home theater), these speakers are working out very well.

Strengths:
Surprisingly full-bodied sound. No-brainer install once the holes are cut.

Weaknesses:
It's still an in-ceiling speaker
