Well i just installed a pair of the $40 audiosource 6.5"s from Amazon in my dining room tonight ( i wasn't impressed with what i listened to at Best Buy (JBL, etc) to lay out 4-6 times that much without giving these a shot). I packed each cavity between the joists with (4) squares of R-13 insulation...
My wife and i were both pretty impressed - especially how the whole house audio / background listening we'll be doing. I played a bunch of stuff from Eric Clapton to U2, to Heart, Boston, Celine, Brian Doerkson, etc. They lack low end, but i'm trying to figure out where to put a sub to address that. An in-wall off the equipment closet would be sweet, but pricey.
I still don't get the catch on these, but the reviews on Amazon conviced me that it was worth $40 - i'm paying a ton for the volume controls compared to the main reproducers - but hey! I'm ordering more and some of the dual voice coil variety from amazon tonight.
