Look up on the side and rear walls of a large cinema and you will often see flat panel type speakers. Here is a range of home theatre rear, surround or even front main speakers that can be used in a similar wall hugging fashion. In no way has the performance of these speakers been compromised, they are all exceptionally clear and accurate performers, adding the realism to movies or music you would expect from a high quality speaker, and drawing you into the experience.

Flat Panel F63V
6 x 3.5" full range surround array speaker

Nominal Impedance: 6 ohms
Frequency Response: 80 -- 30,000 Hertz +/-2dB
Sensitivity: 90dB 1w/1m
Drivers: 6 x Peerless 85mm full range drivers.
Description: This is a unique diffuse surround speaker for home use that takes its design cue from true professional surround speakers used in actual cinemas, where  four or six speakers all projecting the same signal are lined along the side walls to give a diffuse surround effect that does not indicate the direction of the source. This effect is necessary for rain storms, background sounds etc., as used in movies for ambient effects.  The F63V surround array arranges six small full range drivers in a single, conveniently sized long thin speaker that can be easily mounted on the side walls to create this effect.  (Of course, in larger rooms, four of the F602PV speakers above could be used on the side walls instead, in exactly the same way as they do at the cinema.)
