    I love this surround system. I got it on sale for $699.99. I added two additional speakers and turned it into a 7.2 system. Even the two additional speakers were on sale for $169.00.

    Bought these a couple of months ago, but had them installed yesterday with a new Sony Bravia T.V. and Marantz receiver. Have listned to music from several sources, watched regular T.V., and 4K DVD. Very happy with Geek Squad installation. Sound is great!

    Incredible Sound and Sleek Design — Totally Worth

    The Sonance MAG5.1R system completely transformed my home theater setup. The sound is rich, clear, and perfectly balanced — from deep, powerful bass to crisp highs. Watching movies or listening to music now feels like being in a professional cinema. The in-ceiling design is super clean and blends seamlessly into the room. I love that the grills are paintable, so they match my ceiling perfectly. The installation was straightforward, and once everything was tuned, the surround sound performance was unreal — immersive without being overpowering. If you’re looking for a discreet, high-quality sound system that delivers both style and performance, this is it. Sonance really nailed it with the MAG5.1R.

    I recently had the pleasure of installing and testing the Sonance MAG5.1R - Mag Series 5.1-Ch. 6 1/2" In-Ceiling Surround Sound Speaker System, and I must say, it's an exceptional addition to any home entertainment setup. **Sound Quality (5/5):** The sound quality of this speaker system is truly impressive. Whether I'm enjoying my favorite music or diving into an action-packed movie, the audio is clear, immersive, and well-balanced. It provides a rich and detailed soundstage that enhances the overall viewing and listening experience. **Installation (4/5):** Installing the MAG5.1R was a straightforward process, thanks to the detailed instructions provided. However, if you're not experienced with in-ceiling installations, you might want to consider professional help. It's worth noting that the effort put into installation is rewarded with a clean, clutter-free appearance, as the speakers seamlessly blend into the ceiling. **Design and Build Quality (5/5):** These speakers are not only high-performing but also visually appealing. The sleek and unobtrusive design allows them to blend seamlessly with any room decor. Their build quality feels solid and durable, ensuring they'll stand the test of time. **Connectivity (4/5):** The MAG5.1R offers a variety of connectivity options, including both wired and wireless connections. I've had a reliable experience with both, although I primarily use the wired setup for maximum stability. The flexibility in connectivity is a definite plus. **Surround Sound Experience (5/5):** The surround sound experience with this system is phenomenal. It creates an immersive audio environment that makes movies come to life. Dialogues are crisp, and the surround effects are spot on. It's like having a personal cinema in your own home. **Price vs. Performance (4/5):** While the Sonance MAG5.1R isn't the most budget-friendly option on the market, the performance it delivers justifies the price. If you're looking for a top-tier in-ceiling surround sound system, this one is worth the investment. **Customer Support (4/5):** I haven't needed extensive customer support, but my initial interactions were positive. They were responsive and provided helpful information regarding setup and troubleshooting. **Compatibility (5/5):** I've had no compatibility issues with my AV receiver. The system worked seamlessly with my existing setup, making it a hassle-free upgrade. **Long-term Satisfaction (4/5):** It's been a few months since I installed the MAG5.1R, and I'm still as impressed as I was on day one. However, I'll be keeping an eye on its long-term performance, and I hope it continues to deliver the outstanding audio quality I've come to expect. In conclusion, the Sonance MAG5.1R - Mag Series 5.1-Ch. 6 1/2" In-Ceiling Surround Sound Speaker System is an excellent choice for those seeking top-notch audio quality and a seamless, unobtrusive design. While it's not the most budget-friendly option, its performance and features make it a worthy investment for any home theater enthusiast.

    After weeks of meticulous research about sound systems I decided to go with this option. If you're looking for aesthetics and performance, this is it. Sounds great and looks great. In my opinion the best way to use the system is in Multichannel stereo mode on a Dennon. That way you get full immersive sound all over the room. That to me, sounds incredible. You don't have a true LCR in this system, you just have 3 front surround speakers, so using multi-channel makes sense. Also, the sub is a little under powered at 100 watts but I'm going to just get the 10'' when it goes on sale. But the sub isn't bad just a little under powered. Overall, I have a custom home and love interior design, so I wasn't going to kill my aesthetic with floor or in wall speakers.

Additionally, the compatibility with various audio setups adds to their appeal, making them a great choice for both audio enthusiasts and casual users. While the Sonance Sound Speakers come with a higher price tag, the investment is justified by the premium audio experience they deliver. If you're seeking top-notch sound quality and a stylish design, the Sonance speakers are undoubtedly worth considering.
