Quality

Removed builders installed speakers from my new home. Wow. What a difference.

Clear articulate sound. As rear surround speakers, these speakers perfectly compliment ; 2 Polk 40's, a CS 10and PSW 505 on a Pioneer 5.1. Some shows mix there surround sound brilliantly. Have you seen Justified

Not really a con. Slightly inefficient. I have had to boost each by 4db

Replaced Car Speakers

If they maintain after I install an amp and still sound perfect I'll bump the review up to 5 eggs.

Sound Great, replaced my old stock speakers in the rear of my car. I've owned them for a year and had no issues. I don't currently have them running off an amp (just direct to radio) but will be buying one soon. Once I have the amp installed i'll...

None so far

Pretty Good for the price

boxed up a pair for outdoor speakers. For the price, sound way better that an official in/out door speaker. Lows are pretty good for an outdoor speaker (what I'm using them as).

price

dry wall clamps are a little cheap

Great for rear/surround

Great addition to my setup!

I just installed 2 of these in my living room for back/surround speakers they sound great for music and movies alike I was a little afraid they would get lost with my promonitor 70 fronts and 25c center but they fit in very well not a ton of bass...

I hate patching holes in the wall after snaking wires, not really the speakers fault. I do feel that the wire connectors could be a bit tighter I used 14ga wire and it was popping out of the connector because it was so stiff

Good quality, GREAT looks

Maybe its due to the fact that I don't have a subwoofer in the room but bass response is limited at best. But... what the hay - they're six inch speakers!

Clean look, paintable grill, targeted tweeter "aiming" - great mids and highs, built in crossovers

Plastic retaining tabs could be better - they bend a lot making me wonder if they'll hold over the long term

Excellent

Works fine as a ceiling install. If you want really big bass sound, get an in-wall sub or similar - but try these out first as they're pretty effective just the same. I gave them 5 stars because I got something that sounds better than I expected!

Wow, these things sound a heck of a lot better than I thought they would. The tweeters can be angled to provide the separation you want, and the mids are pretty clear. Bass is okay for 6.5" speakers - I'm happy. They also install quite easily, and if...

While they say they use the wall as a "virtual enclosure," don't believe it's going to sound like a sub - their bass response is decent but it's still a set of 6.5" speakers. Comparable to a good car system (without a sub) ; If I had to nit pick, the...

Great speakers

Placed one in kitchen and one in bathroom on my zone 2 output. Received many compliments on sound and looks. Bass is not that strong but I didn't expect it to be.

Great stereo sound from each speaker ; Match my white ceiling perfectly ; Easy install for DIYers ; Price is right @$80 a pair ; Directional speakers

Liked em enough to buy 2 sets

When I put these speakers into my ceiling, I put several layers of fiber insulation behind them to reduce noise. Others have said they got a lot more bass out of them after they built a box around them. For my purposes, the fiber insulation was more...

SUPER EASY installation: Place template on cieling, outline template with pencil, cut hole, place speaker in hole, turn 4 screws (which automatically swing out arms that hold speaker to cieling) ; When combined with my home theater, these speakers...

For the price, none
