Review: Great quality ceiling speakers. - Having redesigned my living room it meant I could no longer use the large bulky freestanding speakers I use for the rear 5.1 surround sound system I have and I needed an alternative. I decided ceiling mounted speakers might be the answer. Quick check on line and these are rated as some of the best you can get, so I bought a set. Installation really was easy once I identified where the ceiling joists were. The speakers come with templates so I offered them up and drew the speaker hole onto the plasterboard. I then drilled a pilot hole then used a plaster hand saw to cut the holes out. Nice and easy. I used an electricians fishing rod pole kit to feed the speaker wire through to the speaker from a hole I had drilled near the wall. Connecting the wires to the speakers is easy as they have push contacts. You then offer the speaker up and using a small philips bit in a drill slowly tighten the 4 mounting screws up. This pulls a self locking peg out and tightens the speaker against the ceiling. The speaker really does sit very flush to the ceiling and you dont really notice it. Sound quality after I did a re-calibration on my Pioneer amp is really quite impressive, certainly well worth the money. i just wish id bought another set now to add 2 middle speakers to the system... i may still do.
Review: Easy to fit and great bass response - These sound great! Very good bass response. Easy to fit. Also easy to pop back out to adjust if you need to.

These sound great! Very good bass response. Easy to fit. Also easy to pop back out to adjust if you need to.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb Speakers!!
*by G***E on 12 December 2023*

I bought a 6.5” set of these for our bathroom about 4 years ago and have loved them ever since. The vocal clarity is superb and bass excellent. Great power too. It is only a Sonos amp that runs them but they are loud when you need them to be and zero distortion all the way up to the top. I’ve since replaced a set of speakers in a bedroom with the 8” version and they are fantastic speakers too. I would not hesitate to recommend these and in time, I’ll be buying another couple of sets for 2 other rooms . The video does not do them full justice as the phones mic can’t capture the sound properly but at least it’ll give you an idea👌🏻 Love them!!
