I'm thinking of getting some ceiling speakers for Dolby Atmos (5.1.2 or 5.1.4). I have two sets of speakers (not in use at the same time!). Currently I have MK Sound S150s for the listener level. I'm thinking of getting MK Sound IW85 (in-walls). IW85s do not come with a backing box, they are just speakers on a plate. Apparently they are designed more for American homes that predominantly. l have stud walls and drywall. My ceiling is plasterboard.

As they will be in a roof space, there will be loft insulation around them. Is there anything else I should be doing, like packing insulation around them, or try to box them in?
The alternative for me is to revert to a PMC Twenty speaker system that's currently in storage, and utilise an existing pair of on-wall Wafer 1s for the ceiling, as these have their own cabinet.
Grateful for advice on the IW85, and its is better to stick with PMC/Wafer set up?
