A few years back the store I worked at sold Speakercraft speakers. Good sounding speakers that didn't break. Pretty straightforward to install, too.

Klipsch is available at BB and will be in that price range.

Ceiling speakers present some issues for HT, if at all possible you should try to use in wall units especially for the center channel.

Other good brands:

B&W
Triad
Polk
Sonance

Be aware especially at BB that some manuf have "lesser" lines that will say wiz bang "by" sonance ect... These are not the same quality drivers as the brand name ones.
