I was a bit concerned about purchasing these speakers since I wasn't familiar with brand, but after hooking them up... I couldn't be more impressed. I've heard high dollar speakers and granted these aren't $1,000 speakers, but for the money they can't be beat. I would highly recommend these for anyone who is looking for some really good quality sound from discreetly hidden speakers.

I reluctantly bought these for an installation in a private practice for background music. My client wanted inexpensive. So I bought 4 sets of these and 4 IC7S speakers by Audiosource. Well I installed them this week, hooked to Dayton volume controls (from Amazon) and a speaker selector switch (Sima SSW-6 from Amazon). I connected it to a JVC basic stereo amp and Polk XM tuner. Well...IT ROCKED! I was very impressed with how these speakers performed. Even though they are only 5.25" they had enough low end and handle higher volume quite well. These are not speakers for audiophiles, but will likely satisfy a majority of music fans. These also work well as surround speakers. Get the bigger ones for main speakers.

Was a bit skeptical on the quality considering the low cost, but these were going in the basement so I thought I'd take a chance. I can't believe the sound quality (great bass) and power! I am now ordering a few more pairs for other spots around the house. Very easy to install if you have wire run and can handle cutting a round hole in your wall.

Like the others, I read the reviews and was a little skeptical but for my basement I figured how could I go wrong. I installed them in the sheetrock ceiling of my basement. They are connected to a Harman Kardon AVR-635 via the Harman Kardon AB1 remote volume control.

I used Music Choice via Comcast as my source and it sounded great. The bass is a little lacking but what do you expect for 5 1/4" speakers? If you turn it down a tad they will sound excellent. Great sound for the price! I played a variety of music (classical, hip-hop, rap, country, oldies, etc.) and they all sounded great except hip-hop and rap. They sounded pretty good but sometimes distorted a tad until I turned the bass down a notch or 2.

Would I buy them again? In an instant!

Great speakers for putting something simple together and adding a bit of sound to the room... couldn't have made a better buy !

I installed 5 of these in the ceiling of a small family room as the primary speakers for my "secondary" home theatre. Along with a fairly cheap subwoofer, they are certainly more than acceptable -- and much better than I expected considering the price. If you're looking for cheap surround speakers or even a full set, and you're not an audiophile, I doubt you'll be disappointed. My only issue is with the directional tweeter that is basically a "bubble" in the center of the grill...the JBLs I have in my main system look much nicer as the grills are completely flat, without this "bump." Overall, though, highly recommended for home theatre on a budget.

I was looking for in-ceiling speakers for our basement remodel. Great value. I decided to buy another pair for the master suite.

There work great for what I use them for. The sound is good and the bass is just enough without being obnoxious. I use them to provide sound to my second family room which is about 16x20. I have them wall mounted near the ceiling above a closet.

I received the exact same from Ebay for $20.00 a pair. They work GREAT!! I have them in all bedrooms, kitchen, and for the surround sound in the living room. I play the music loud though out the house and the speakers produce a better sound than my previous Sony Surround Sound.

I got these for rear speakers over the stadium seating in the basement home theater, but you still want a little base out of them, so you have to box in a cavity with 2x4's in order to get enough lower frequency response. Mids and highs are fine, the cutting template was spot on, and the installation was a breeze. Also consider their rectangular speakers - a bit more punch, if you have the space.
