The sound quality of this Sonance speaker kit is truly amazing. My previous audio setup was a Visio sound bar, and the difference between that sound bar and these MAG Series Premium 6-1/2” speakers is night and day. The quality and audio depth is perfect for any basement home theater setup. The installation of the LCR and surround speakers are fairly easy and straightforward. Cutting Templates are provided which is a huge help. I’m using the subwoofer via the provided wireless connection kit. Getting that working proved to be slightly challenging because the instructions are lacking details.
Overall: 5 stars. Would recommend because buying this Sonance speaker kit because of the value and initial quality. Buying these Sonance speakers individually would be expensive so it’s great that they’re offered in this kit together at a savings. I love the speakers and have no regrets, despite the steep price tag. Initial speaker quality is great 1 week after install and I’m hoping and expecting they last a long time.

We installed these five speakers ourselves. The hardest part was mapping where they go and not hitting any studs or ceiling vents/pipes. Overall would highly recommend. Very easy to install and high quality surround sound.

I’m glad I decided to pull the trigger and buy these. The sound quality is amazing, it doesnt give that hollow can sound you get with some lower end quality surround sound systems. I love it for my new home theater sound. The only thing i can think that I wish i would’ve caught is that 3 of the speakers are wall mount not ceiling mount. But hey still love it!

We have a 3 speaker in front, 2 in back and subwoofer. We added to Dolby atmos Sonos in the ceiling in our theater room to create a 7:1 surround sound. They are amazing.

Installed this system in my home theater. Easy install also purchased 2 additional ceiling speaker for a 5.4.1 atom’s experience. All the speakers sound great except the subwoofer. From the very beginning it has been making a thumping noise like it’s bottoming out even though it’s on a low setting. Was hoping the sub just had to be broken in so I waiting a bit and nothing fixed the issue. Would have given 5 stars if the sub was better quality.

Picked up my box in June but waited to open box until new house was built. Packaging was decrepit and ripping just walking with it—so afraid to open to check everything out. When finally ready to install—A wall speaker was missing. Best Buy would not remedy problem as much as I paid for these. You would think the bigger problem is someone in store took out speaker or returned system and no one checked it themselves

Loved everything that came with the bundle. Includes Wirless subwoofer transmitter although I opted for subwoofer cable. Very easy install if your joist are running the correct way. Paired with denon receiver. My first upgrade will be a stronger subwoofer. And 2 more speakers later down the road. Wait until it’s on sale. I got mine on deal of the day!

I've been using the Sonance 5.1 speakers in my home theater for a few weeks.
Great Sound: The speakers give clear voices and a nice, balanced sound. The bass is deep, which makes movies really fun.
Hidden Design: They fit into the walls and ceiling, so they don’t take up space or look bulky.
Installation Challenges: Setting them up isn’t easy—you might need help from a professional or be good with DIY work.
High Cost: They are expensive compared to regular speakers.
Not Easy to Move: Once they’re in your wall or ceiling, you can’t easily move it.

It’s a deal. My need was LCR, 4 surround in ceiling and 2 surround in wall. So, most of speakers were in the package along with Woofer. Bought the remaining four speakers and made up my system. Amazing for room with 22x15ft room

Coming from someone who had mostly used soundbars in the past, the very first time I tested these out watching a move I was blown away by the sound quality, depth and bass from the subwoofer. Higher priced, but worth the price, as I was hoping. Would highly recommend.
