    Looking and sounding great!

    These speakers are great. They sound amazing and look great as part of our new Dolby Atmos system. You do need a good subwoofer to bring out maximum sound.

    Best speakers ive ever owned.

    These are really nice looking and great sounding speakers. I love the slim profile with then hanging on the wall. I use this one as my center speaker. If youre using these as stereo and center channels, you need a woofer. The sound clearity is amazing but there is very little bass out of them. Dont let my photo deceive the size of the speaker. I have an 85" tv in the pic.

    Awesome set of speakers

    Nice sleek look and great sound. Can be installed on wall or comes with speaker stand. Great installation by Best Buy technician on wall with hidden wires behind the wall. These take up less room than bookshelf speakers. I have total tech membership so all my electronic and computer purchases come with a two year warranty for free.

    Look and sound amazing!!!

    They have a crisp clean sound are easy to wall mount with the template provided. These are high and mid range frequency speakers only so you will need a subwoofer.

    Best center speaker I’ve had

    Currently using the speaker as a center channel. Installation was fairly simple and it looks great on my wall. A sub is necessary as these have terrible bass, however it makes it up with terrific mids and highs. These speakers can be used as either l/r channels or as a center.

  • Can this be used as a center speaker? I have four speakers already in the ceiling and just needed the center.

    Thank you for your question and we hope all is well. Yes the SLM can be used as any speaker in a home theater application. The Folded Motion tweeters have an 80° x 80° dispersion pattern, which allows SLM and SLM XL to sound exactly the same in a horizontal or vertical orientation, making them perfect for Left-Center-Right (LCR) system applications. We hope this helps and thank you for your support.

  • My receiver, a Yamaha TSR 700, says it is only compatible with 8 OHM speakers. These speakers say it is compatible with 4, 6, or 8 OHM receivers. What might I expect if I were to match these SLM speakers to the Yamaha?

    Hello. Thank you for your question and interest in our products. While we can only speak on our products, we don't think there should be any compatibility issues with the pairing. Our speakers are compatible with 4, 6, or 8 Ohm-rated amplifiers and a majority of our speakers are on display/demo with 8 Ohm-rated amplifiers, including Yamaha. We hope this helps and please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks again and we appreciate your support.
