Impressive

Easy install and crystal clear sound

These are fantastic. Not even for the money - although that helps - or for in-wall speakers. Theyre just really great. I replaced some nice paradigm bookshelf speakers with these since I have a crawling newborn and consider these an upgrade. I would recommend running a auto-EQ program on your receiver to set the crossovers correctly. Mine is at 80 hz (normal). For installation, if youre comfortable finding the space between studs, cutting drywall along a straight line and fishing wires (sometimes through studs) then its pretty basic stuff. I do consider myself on the handier side and dont mind drilling through wall studs, understanding where electrical wires are already running and using fish tape. If any of that sounds challenging to you, call a pro.

Great sounding speaker! When I painted the grills you can still see the spot where the sticker was. I wish I would have cleared that better before painting. That’s the only thing I have to complain about.

These sound AWESOME! I paired them with the

Awesome Speakers. I used these to replace my RTI A9s due to space. They sound amazing. You will need a sub. They have little to zero bass but that is not why we buy them. Clarity is very good. I am pumping them with a huge amp and they take a lot of abuse from me. You will not be let down as long as you power them. Dont think a cheap Sony will do anything for these. Get a real receiver or amp you will be happy.

Love it! Love it! Really brings out the sound in the room. Couldnt be happier.

The best from the best, really super quality. The wanishing series are great, ideally balanced, melodious if you can say like that.

Used to round out our surround sound Polk Speaker System. Blend nicely as in the wall speakers and has amazing sound quality! Sound quality and detail is so clear, we sometimes get startled by the sneaky sounds in movies, so does our dog. You forget they are in the wall until the movie starts. They look upscale and our neighbors are jealous.

The speakers come with the template needed for the perfect size hole and easy layout for your room. The grills are very low profile, attach via magnets, and the grill mesh is very fine with a high-end look. The speakers went in easily and secured to the wall firmly. I used these for my fronts in a 5.1.2 system, matched with the Polk 255crt (center), 65rt (rears), 70rt (ceiling presence) for an ATMOS system. After calibrating my levels I am blown away with the sound! These produce phenomenal clarity in both instruments and voice. The transition from one speaker to the next is perfect, being timbre matched. I couldn’t be happier with the results and I highly recommend these for anyone looking at installing a clean in-wall system.
