I really appreciated the graphs. Most reviews won't show how bad the drivers are off axis. This was awesome. Good job.

The timing on this video couldn't be any more perfect, I'm renovating my condo I was thinking about adding speakers to the ceiling. Thanks for the info.

Great explanation of the on axis and off axis response when it comes to room EQ.

Great video, doing stuff most aren't. I think Amir has measured one/two in wall speakers but it was very much a work in progress from what I remember. Would be interesting to see how more compare since I see a lot of people recommending the Polk RC80i so it would be interesting to see how that compares. I'd imagine that these and the Micca, Dayton or Monoprice stuff would fair similarly.

Are Polyurethane tweeters any good? I’m looking at angled in ceiling speakers and found the Sonance MAG6R from BestBuy. They use Polyurethane tweeters and glass fiber woofers. I am debating getting these or the Dayton ME650C which use silk dome tweeters and Kevlar woofers. My front 3 are Elac Debut 2.0s which use similar materials to the daytons.

Hi, Thank you for your videos, very helpful!
I have a question. I was going to buy Monitor gold 100 or something similar. But they are too expensive. What if I just replace woofer and units to scan-speak units. Will it make the speaker high quality sounds?

I've noticed that discrepancy in the -3db point with my outdoor and in ceiling speakers as well, it's like 20-30hz off. I wonder how they are testing, are they mounted in a wall, is it anechoic, etc.

It is nice to have choices that might fit various situations, good review.

Too bad they don't have an option with a back box where you can get more predictable bass response and minimize resonances.
I would assume the TS parameters for these are set for an infinite baffle setup since the volume behind the speaker is variable and unknown.

This was not a shootout. It was general speaker tips. He did not even play a single speaker. FAIL.

[rosediaz]

So with the speakers i get bass or i need a sub.

Hmm... Height speakers could use some bass too no?

Dude I don’t like making harsh comments, but anyone looking at ceiling speakers are not going to understand this video. Only people that already know about speakers will and they probably don’t need any and already know all about it. Can you dumb it down a bit?
