3-Way Carbon Fiber In-Wall Column Speaker - 6.5 Inch (Each) With Ribbon Tweeter, 8 Ohm Nominal Impedance, Magnetic Grille, 200 Watt Max, White - Amber Series

I have 3 of these installed as the front stage of my theater. (Because I’m too cheap to buy the THX certified ones) I have a QSC CX404 amplifier rated at 250w per channel running them from my Arcam receiver. Movie vocals are CRYSTAL CLEAR. My wife now says we can’t go back to the local movie theater because she has been ruined by our setup. I love the solid look and feel of these with the carbon fiber cones. I was worried that the ribbon tweeter would be too harsh, but it is ideal in my setup. It lends a TON to the clarity of the spoken word. We do not turn on the captions while watching TV or movies with these in play. I haven’t tried to play any music through them, and I’m not sure they’d hold their own next to a set of high quality floor standing speakers for music, but for my theater use, I have NO regrets.

i’d put this up against speakers 4x the cost. ribbon tweeter is a bit tinny, but is breaking in nicely after 20-30 hours. miss are crisp & clear, high notes are clear, but needs some more break-in for good blending as it is still a bit too crisp and divided.

I definitely like the price of these speakers and I like their looks and that you an paint the grills. The high-frequency attenuation feature is nice too. That being said, these speakers don't have a very good low end. You will definitely need a sub or full-range speaker to complement them. The speakers are exceptionally clear for voices, especially Alexa announcements. I did an A/B test with my JBL monitors. The JBLs have a much deeper sound but in comparison to the Monoprice, sounded much less bright. The Monoprice sounded tinny in comparison to the JBLs. Putting both together sounded pretty good though. I didn't put the Monoprice into the wall yet, which might help the low end - I simulated the wall by putting the speaker over a rectangular bucket.

Works great! I’ve purchased 4 of them

Very harsh sound from the tweeter, shrill and all highs and mids. Low end is severely lacking. The drivers and pretty but ultimately nothing special. The reviews saying it has great low end may be comparing it to a cellphone speaker. Mine had a clip break the first time I tightened it to a test baffle. I’m glad I decided to test it before cutting my wall. Back to amazon you go!

Loud & clear but sounds better with a subwoofer!

We installed these in our office primarily for background audio on a day to day basis but wanted something that could be played at a louder level for when we were hosting events. These speakers definitely do not disappoint. The last event we had over 80 people and these speakers provide clean audio without distortion. I couldn’t be happier. Especially considering they are being powered buy a very economical class D Fosi amp and a dx3 pro topping dac.

So good! These do not disappoint. Install was simple, sq is much better than I expected.
