Yamaha makes great speakers, especially for ceiling. So you made a great choice. As a side note, one gets a much better bang for the buck by fixing the room acoustics and matching/mapping the frequency response of the system to it. Fixing the room mostly means removing anything that resonates or vibrates the wrong way and strategically placing some dampening material. I have some nice canvas paintings on the back wall and the far right wall. Behind the canvas are dampening material, so the room looks nice without drawing attention to the sound engineering. As to the system response, broadly speaking you can go about the frequency response in two ways: Objectively - make the response true to known reference pieces. And subjectively - get a few pieces that you love and know how they should sound and then tune the system to play them to your liking. The latter solution is not very scientific, but in the end your ears are the only ones that need to be pleased ;) I did it the hybrid way. I started out with the objective measurements. Then sat on my favorite chair and adjusted that setting to my ears, but did not allow much deviation from the objective setting.
