First and foremost, you have to decide where you're going to put your shiny new speakers. More specifically, I'm talking about: are they going to go outside. Are you going to mount these underneath a roof or awning out on your deck or patio? If you are, you cannot forget to consider how well they are designed to stand up to moisture and rain. If snow melts on your roof, could it get around the gutter possibly and run down the inside of its own ceiling? What kind of a climate do you live in? Is it very humid there?

I know this is a lot of questions to ask yourself about a seemingly simple thing such as ceiling speakers, but if you think all speakers are made equal, you're sorely mistaken my friend. Especially in terms of how it reacts to moisture or humidity, you have to be on the lookout. Make sure that whatever salesman you deal with, you ask him once and you ask him again: "How do these ceiling speakers handle being outdoors? How will they handle being in my basement if it gets rather humid in there sometimes?"

If you don't do your due diligence you are bound to be burned (or drowned). This is a sad lesson that many would-be music aficionados have had to learn time and time again. Yes, the technology that these companies have pumped out is amazingly resilient in many ways. And yes, they've come a million years from the stone age of huge wooden speakers that take up half of your floor. But they are still made with varying degrees of construction and this is why there can be such a different range of prices in part.

Another accessory that you may consider adding to your home theater arsenal is the so-called swiveling tweeter. This is, believe it or not, an implement that allows you to, yes, swivel your ceiling speakers to face whichever direction you dare please they face. If you're home alone, you can turn every last one of your speakers to face you and you only, and I promise you will have an auditory experience the likes of which you have never had - if your speaker system is a high enough quality that is.

Lastly, once you have gone ahead and installed your ceiling speakers, they may not quite sound as good as they did in the Bose Store demonstration. (Or wherever you got them from.) Don't fret. Don't panic. This is only to be expected. What I want you to do is simply devote a little time here or there to making adjustments in the bass and treble controls. Once you've made an adjustment, listen to it like that for awhile. It could be five minutes; it could be five days. Make a mental note of the positions and how you liked the sound and then change the controls again. This is the only way that I have ever found to hone in that subtle and elusive "perfect sound", but after it is all said and done you will have the joy of knowing that you're getting the maximum experience out of your home ceiling speakers.
