I give everything a fair chance and have been in the music industry for 10 years and sold retail and custom integration products for over 7 years now. These speakers don't sound horrible by any means, but you don't get what you pay for and that is the bottom line. I put them up against the B&W (Bowers & Wilkins) CCM65's for $550/pr. (the Bose 791's are $600) and they blow them away. If Bose really does want to make whats considered a high-end speaker they need to do some more work. Most people consider any in-ceiling speaker costing them over $350/pr. an (audiophile) or high-performance speaker. Bose needs to either lower their price or greatly improve their performance.

These sound really good with my other surround sound speakers. They replaced a good pair of 301 Bose speakers that we were using for front speakers with our system. They also sound great with music. The installation was very easy sense I already had wires ran into the ceiling. There is a trick when aligning the speakers. They have arrows that must face each other to insure the teweeters are in the proper position. I am not a pro like the last reviewer, we just enjoy beautiful music and excellent sound in our surround sound. We did listen to several other speakers in displays at the electronics show in Vegas before we bought these and there were some better, but not in this price range. There were some as good as these Bose in this price range but we went Bose because we have enjoyed their systems in the past and they have always been good. We are very happy with these speakers.
