Re: In-Ceiling Speakers

["Mik Griffin" <panheadscrew@xxxxxxx>]

Just been down that route myself and after a lot of testing and
research I ended up where everyone else seems to be.  Sonance.

For background and "normal" audio, the 622TR seems the best bet -
I
now have 8 of these scattered around the house (cost about 200 quid
a pair).  For more serious audio go for the Virtuoso range (big
bucks - I had some shipped in by a friend in the US rather than pay
the UK price)

Both are more or less identical with regard to fitting; cut a hole
and they jump in themselves.  Both sound excellent - I have 5
Virtuosos positioned for Theatre surround and (in my set up) they
are virtually indistinguishable sound wise from my original B&W
setup although I have kept the B&W centre and sub-woofers.

Positioning is important - dont stick them in the corner of the room
without listening to them first as this dramatically changes the
acoustics.  However, in my lounge, I put them reasonably close to
the walls which seemed to "lower" the speakers so that you are
not
aware that they are in the ceiling.

Cheers

Mik
