If you're talking about the little car speakers behind a plate, then you're right, those aren't good for much more than casual listening. I think in general, that's what people expect of wall mount or ceiling mount speakers. But you can place a well-designed high-quality speaker in the wall so it's baffle is flush with the wall. If the speaker is voice properly for this, it can sound very good. It prevents the wall from being a source of early reflections and eliminates baffle step.
