Product Description

The IW Eight/S is designed to accurately reproduce music, including today's demanding digital signals. In-wall speakers are designed so that the wall and the space behind it actually become the speaker cabinet. Mounted flush to the wall, they require absolutely no floor space. The frames and grilles may be painted to blend with any decor. The discrete, compact format is ideal for many applications where traditional speakers would be impractical or impossible. In-wall speakers may be used independently where space is a consideration, or to bring music to additional rooms in the house. They can also be used to enhance and enrich subwoofer and surround sound systems, for which they are especially suited.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome Speakers, May 14, 2003

By	David Wood (Hawthorn Woods, IL United States) - See all my reviews

Easy to install, sound is better than my similar size JBL speakers. Please note, you are cutting a rather large hole in your wall (approx 13"x9"). Make sure you know where your studs are and you cut the hole exactly where you want the speakers. Everything you need to mount these is included in the package so there is nothing more to buy except for the speaker wire. Mounting brackets are integrated in the frame and you can't remove these once they are mounted. Again, make sure you are sure you know where to mount them before you cut your hole!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbeatable for the price, June 17, 2002

By	TechFreak (Fairfax, VA) - See all my reviews

For the price they can't be beat by anything else I've seen. Good S/N ratio and wide frequency range. Most of the other comparable speakers out there are only two way, these are three way and are cheaper so its a no brainer buying these. They are large, so cutting the hole can be a little nerve racking. But installation is a breeze. The braintrust from Verizon ready wiring put one of my pre-wires in a wall with something in it so I had to do some "self-modification" of my house. But otherwise I would have had them all installed(4 total) in less than an hour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound and easy install, January 6, 2003

By A Customer

...Surprisingly great sound. First Audiosource purchase, not the last. Very easy to install, make sure you read the instructions. System used on: Harman Kardon 520 Receiver, JBL center, front and subwoofer with optical output, very large media room. These speakers sound awesome with 5.1 and DTS, DTS moreso. Tested with "Matrix" (bullets feel like they whizz by), "Saving Private Ryan", "Gladiator", "Attack of the Clones", "Blade 2" and a few more. Really nice. Had to lower JBL's channel and increase these, since JBL's would overpower surround speakers. Great for the price.
