QuestionCan cellulose insulation cover these speakers when installed into the ceiling?
Asked 4 years ago by Jamison.
- Answer Hi, Thanks for your question. If you are concerned with insulation interfering with the speaker's movement or performance, we offer back boxes designed to fully protect the back of the speaker. You can find links to them here: Sonance 8" Retro Back Boxes - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sonance-large-8-round-retrofit-enclosure-for-select-sonance-speakers-pair-black/6290867.p?skuId=6290867 Sonance 8" Acoustic Back Boxes - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sonance-acoustic-enclosure-for-select-sonance-visual-performance-8-round-speakers-each-unfinished-wood/6290880.p?skuId=6290880 I hope you found this information helpful.

QuestionCan the Sonos Amp power 3 pairs of these (as it can with the Sonance Architectural)?
Asked 4 years ago by MTS201.
- Answer I'm sure it could, just measure your total Ohm's with a digital meter, and make sure they are above 4 ohms. You may need to use a combination of parallel and series wiring to get it into that range. I am driving four of these with a Yamaha 100wpc receiver, at a carwash, and they get played every day at very high volume levels, with no issues so far.

QuestionCould these be used to replace a couple of 8" Uni Q drivers (woofer/tweeter) in a set of Kef C55 boxes (large bookshelf/floor standers)? OEM replacements no longer available.
Asked 5 years ago by Mike.
- Answer Thanks for your question. I'm not familiar with the Kef product so I can't recommend using the MAG8R speakers as replacement drivers for your bookshelf speakers. I would contact them directly for advice. I've provided their contact information here: Service website - https://us.kef.com/contact Phone - 732-683-2356 I hope you found this information helpful.

QuestionI bought 4 of these for suround and am thinking of installing the front ones in front wall instead of ceiling. Please let me know what speaker would work best as a center channel speaker with these speakers.
Asked 5 years ago by Ben.
- Answer Good Evening, You will probably get a dozen different opinions, as most opinions are like elbows, everyone's got one. In the home theaters I've owned, I've always installed the same brand speaker with identical drivers, from the same manufacturer. That eliminates almost any possibility of getting a timbre mismatch. If you don't want to use the same speaker as a center, a similar model from Sonance should provide good results. Something like the VP62 LCR RECTANGLE. Again, just my opinion. Thanks

QuestionWill the Magnolia 8” pair well with my Boston VR950’s? I recently discovered that Boston no longer makes speakers, I have 5 x VR950’s with the 1" VR Aluminum dome tweeter. I recently upgraded to a 9.2ch receiver and wanting to timbre match for 9ch stereo.
Asked 6 years ago by Zach.
- Answer Good Evening, I seriously doubt you will get a timbre match to your Bostons, but I think you could probably reduce the mismatch to tolerable levels if your receiver is capable of doing individual bass and treble adjustments on each channel. Thanks

QuestionAre these paintable?
Asked 6 years ago by mimi62.
- Answer Yes the grills are, Just make sure you take the felt-like liner out of the grille before painting them, otherwise the paint will soak into it and give the grill a blotchy look.
