Great In-Wall Speakers
About month ago I upgraded my sound system and had initially purchased Martin Logan Motion 2i speakers as my surround left/right and absolutely loved them. However, my wife did not like how bulky they look on the wall (although they are actually very small). So I exchanged them for these B&W in-wall speakers. I was worried that I wasn't going to get the same sound quality of the ML Motion 2i, but I was pleasantly surprised. These in-wall speakers sound amazing. And you can barely notice them on the wall, which is a big plus since I got my wife's approval. Pros: great highs and mids for both music and movies; they almost disappear on the wall; easy to install; very well made/good quality; comparable (if not better) to most bookshelf speakers of the same size/price. Cons: I can't think of any really. The only thing that comes to mind is that the lows may not be as good as some bookshelf speakers. But with the proper EQ adjustment, they sound amazing and have had absolutely no problem playing great sound with anything i have thrown at it so far. Overall, I couldn't be happier and would totally buy these again. Another thing I can mentioned is that the sound coming out of the speakers fills the room pretty well, making it hard for the listener to pin point the exact location of the speaker from the listener positions in my room, which is a big plus for surround sound.

Love these rear speakers in our theater set up. Clear sound and they look nice on the wall.

Good choice for smaller rooms, tight spaces.
I was limited in width due to a water pipe so this was one of the few "in wall" speakers that would fit in my space. Installation was easy and build quality of the speakers is typical B&W so they're pretty rock solid. How do they sound? In my room they're pretty flat across the frequency spectrum down to around 80hz where they fall off pretty quickly. Highs and mids aren't hyped but are accurate and detailed. There's a switch to increase or decrease tweeter output but I found them best set flat in my room which is around 18x30 with 10 foot ceilings. Having owned previous B&W's I was prepared for a long break in period but these sounded good out of the box and there was no glare in the high end. These need to be paired with a subwoofer as there's no deep bass and mine cross over at 80hz which sounds about right. We're running vinyl, Hi Rez digital, and streaming through these and they're fun to listen to with no fatigue. Really not bad considering the price.
