Excellent product for the price.

Love the build quality and sound.. I have them mixed with my definitive technology speakers and the mono speakers sound way better! Best bang for the buck too! Low profile so they fit in my dry wall that's butt up against brick.

Really like the angle aspect on these and I'm very happy I bought them. They get really loud and can kick a ton, but I'm giving 4 stars as the sound is a little "harsh". I have 4 of the 6.5" 3-way Alpha speakers too and to be frank, those sound much warmer than these. I am quite biased to warmer sounding cones with well rounded low end and less screamy mids and these unfortunately fall a bit too far in the screamy mids for me. Still love them and am using them as surrounds as the angle aspect is really cool. You don't really know where the sound is coming from, which I love. Paired with my THX 10" monster of a Monolith sub, these are are dope. The sub helped fill in the roundness I needed.

I want to preface this, there are so many stupid people that exist on the internet. Obviously a 6 inch shroud will not fix into a 2x4 or 2x6. Just...cut the shroud. Nevertheless, you are left with only about a 15 - 20 degree angle in a 2x4 wall. For my application, I only needed 15 degrees to point at the listening position. I took a angle grinder and simply cut a straight line across the shroud (Obviously unscrewing the driver holder and hinge and removing these pieces to not damage anything), and then sanded it up. Installed it into the wall, backed some insulation behind it (pink panther as typical), and then put the driver back in, stuffing the surrounds with some insulation to fill some of the void. Instead of "drilling a slot in with a nut to tighten once in place, my plan here is a bit more nuanced. I'm going to use black silicone, and silicone it in place such that "If needing to change these out", I can.
Since these are effectively on a simple shrouded swivel that can easily be replicated, my future plans would be to change out these drivers to something more crisp. However, that was the original plan before hearing them in them in the wall. These sound fantastic for surround speakers. I would recommend these to anyone with a creative mind and the ones legitimately looking for a quality surround speaker that can pivot to the correct angle for listening position. This is in a living room, so for me -- being "Out of sight" (In the wall) looks the best, minimalist, and very stunning without sacrificing positioning.

I purchased this speaker as a center channel replacement. Since getting a new TV that's so big the bottom is touching my fireplace mantel (still hanging by a bracket on the back) I had nowhere to place a center channel speaker.

This speaker turned out to be the answer to my prayers! Ironically, 2 days before I received this speaker, my current center channel blew out and sounded SO horrible! This speaker sounded a little muddy at first, but after about a day of break-in time (manual says 50-80 hours), this speaker sounds amazing! My wife has trouble sometimes with being able to hear the dialogue over the background music and this speaker has also solved that issue as well. Seriously considering buying two more for Front Left & Right to get those off the mantel as well!

This is a great speaker and I would recommend this to anyone looking for quality sound that is (almost) out of sight!

great value

I bought three of these for the left/center/right channels in an all-in-ceiling (kid proof) 5.1 setup in my basement. There aren?t many in-ceiling speakers with adjustable angle, and these work great for the application. I?m using these with the 6.5? Alpha in-ceiling round 15 degree angled speakers for rear satellites and a Monoprice 15? 600w sub. A word of caution: These will sound muffled when first plugged in ? let them break in! It took about 4 hours before I noticed a huge improvement. They sound excellent now. I recommend surrounding the rear of the units with insulation to dampen any reverberation in the ceiling.

Installation was easy, just measure your space well. I had a structural beam exactly where I wanted to place it and had to shift it over a few inches. The speaker allows me to use my TV or projector without adjusting my center channel. Sound is great so far, it?s brighter than my other Polk?s but it?s new and a nice clear center channel is a good thing.

Great speaker for this price

Excelent product merry happy
