Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great price, great sound, easy install

These speakers were easy to install and I was pleasantly surprised at how good they sound. I mainly use them for background music, they produce a nice sound and look neat on the wall. Will they revolutionize your world and bring new levels of depth and height to your music that you haven't experienced before? no Are these speakers perfect for the new dance floor at your late night parties? no But for $150 a pair, you're probably getting the best bang for your buck sharing, and if you have a small home like I do, the extra floor space and lack of clutter are invaluable. If the goal is to add surround speakers or background music while you're showering, cooking, chatting or reading a book, I doubt you'll find better value for your money. Of course I'm happy. Installation tip: Gently tighten the screws that secure the speaker to the wall. I used setting 1 (weakest) on my drill and still managed to break one of the plastic clips securing it to the wall at the back. So I would recommend hand tightening the screws until they are snug, but not too tight to avoid this. If you have an old lathe and plastered walls, you should also consider hiring a professional if you don't have experience. It pays to avoid the clutter and frustration when you screw something up. Otherwise, I find the installation fairly intuitive and easy.
