Adjustable tweeters are also a very nice perk. Very crisp and clear sound. These are a great addition to complete any surround system (especially 7.1) Purchased them for 79.99, which was a steal. Deliver a medium level amount of base (but not something you need to be concerned with if you already have a decent subwoofer and are simply using these as surround speakers).
The directional tweeters make more of a difference than I thought they would. I wasn't expecting such a great sound from these speakers based on the price, but my expectations were exceeded. Don't get me wrong--audiophiles will not consider these for their listening rooms, but as a for the rest of us the sound is great and the price is right.
I doubt that spending twice as much would provide any better audio quality. very pleased with the quality, audio range, installation ease, connections.The 9 5/16" hole size stipulated in the instructions is a little small, but with a little more shaving it was fine--better to start too small than too big.audio is crisp and very clean.
Gently flex the outer plastic edge of the speaker until the grill starts to pop out, then pull it the rest of the way off.Conclusion: The sound from these speakers is excellent and they're a great way to get rid of the clutter of floor speakers. i.e. Remember though that most of your sound in a surround sound system comes from the center channel, so buy a good center channel to go along with these and you can't go wrong. So here's a quick review on the speakers:Pro's:- Speakers mount almost flush with the ceiling so you really don't notice them very much- They have aimable tweeters so you can point them towards where you normally sit (don't even consider any ceiling mounted speakers that don't have aimable tweeters)- The white color on the face isn't a stark white so they blend in well with most white ceilings- Speaker wire connectors are spring loaded so inserting the wires while crawling around in the ceiling is very easy- The locking mechanism for holding the speakers in the ceiling works well, and means it doesn't require someone in the ceiling holding the speaker while you mount it.Con's- 8 inch speakers are actually much larger than you would think. I actually returned these and got the 6.5 inch size, which fit the size of my livingroom much better- removing the grill for the installation is a bit of a pain until you figure out the trick.
I don't recommend a brush or roller for the screen portion though. Lots of sound for the dollar. I just installed these, powerful sound. I would definitely buy these again. Aimable tweeters were a plus as well. Better than I expected. The template was accurate and you can paint them to match the wall.
