I recently purchased the BIC America HT8W In-Wall speakers after researching a lot of speakers. I had floorstanding speakers on my 1st floor living room but wanted something which will go in the wall as I have a 21 month old son and the in-wall look much better visually in the living room. I purchased one set of HT8W (note that when you order, one box has 2 speakers in it) and installed them as surround speakers. I was so happy with them that I turned around and purchased 2 additional speakers and installed them as the front speakers in my living room. My living room is 17feet by 20 feet with 9 feet ceilings and these speakers fill the room with beautiful sound. Their tweeters are amazing and can be pointed towards the listening position. The woofer inside the speaker gives out decent bass but you will need a subwoofer to provide adequate bass. I have a polk PSW505 subwoofer and it matches well with these speakers. Overall I am really happy. I love to listen to music and I am hearing sounds which I have never heard before. I have not installed a in-wall center speaker because I am using an existing infinity PC350 center.

Installing them in the wall was easy. I had one place where there were 2 studs which were about 7 inches apart and I got some contractor and he was able to install the speaker by mounting the screws into the 2 studs instead of using the wall bracket which comes with the speaker. For the other 3 speakers, I was able to easily mount the speakers with the bracket provided. You will need about 30 - 45 minutes per speaker for mounting if you are doing this for the first time.

These speakers should work great for movies too.. I have not watched a movie yet with the new speakers but I will update the review after watching a couple of movies.

I am amazed that the price of these speakers is so low. These speakers can be easily compared with some of the speakers which cost at $500 or more per set. Try these out, you will love them. I have tried a different variety of Polk audio RTI, LSI7, Infinity and Bic Venturi speakers and am aware of how budget speakers sound. This is my first time in trying out In-Wall speakers and the sound from these speakers compares well with the floorstanding speakers. My wife is also happy with the BIC America HT8W In-Wall and that makes a big difference...

Wow these speakers are the best for listening music or theater sound, using them as front Left and right speakers and they beat any speakers any brand at any time, highly recommended.

Great speakers for what we use them for and for the price. I would recommend them. Easy to install with simple instructions.

Hard to beat for the price!! Sound great, easy to install, look good and would definitely recommend buying. Sound almost as good as my high end klipsch in wall speakers.

item was sold as used, however it didn't appear used, but it did have some physical damage to one electronic component which fortunately could be fixed by someone who understand electronics.
