I love the sound and look of these speakers. The installation was very simple. Painting the covers was not difficult. If you do paint them, I recommend two things: do use a coat of primer, and for the paint, do several layers at at time AND have several cans of compressed air ready to spray out the build-up in the holes. But, if you have patience do several light layers, the build-up will not happen as much!. I will also say it will take a lot longer to tighten the speakers than you think, but they fit tight once you are done. Be careful when connecting the wires to make sure the wire is snug in place. One slipped too far in after I connected to the terminals while mounting the speaker, but it was an easy fix. The sub is great. It sounds great at any volume.

Wow, love these speakers so much. My dream tv watching experience just became a reality. The Geek Squad gets the credit on this purchase. I had them scheduled to come out and install existing speakers and a coupe of ceiling speakers. After they reviewed the layout and challenges of install based upon my home, they suggested going all in ceiling speakers. These speakers were on sale which allowed me to return the other speakers, upgrade to these, go totally ceiling for a cleaner look, and out of pocket was minimal considering. They were even able to set up my system to allow for the return of an IR blaster which helped offset some of the additional expense. Now my system is popping! Feels like a movie theater. Couldn’t be happier.

Title: Impressive Audio Quality with Sonance Sound Speakers I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Sonance Sound Speakers, and they left a lasting impression on me. The audio quality delivered by these speakers is truly exceptional. From the deep, rich bass to the crisp highs, the Sonance speakers offer a well-balanced and immersive listening experience. Whether I was enjoying music, watching movies, or gaming, the sound reproduction was consistently clear and detailed. The design of the speakers is both sleek and modern, seamlessly blending into any room decor. The build quality is sturdy, reflecting the brand's commitment to durability and longevity. One notable feature is the versatility of these speakers. They handled a variety of music genres with ease, adapting to different audio sources effortlessly. The overall performance was not only impressive but also customizable to suit personal preferences. Installation was straightforward, and the speakers proved to be user-friendly. 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.

Although I am skeptical of the Comparable Value, I find these to be excellent speakers for my home theatre. Out of fear of cutting into my ceiling's drywall, I hired Best Buy's Geek Squad to install these and so glad I did. The speakers themselves seem high quality and offer some nice features, such as tilt and tweeters specifically designed for both main speakers and surround sound. I added the MAG Series Retrofit Enclosures to protect them from insulation and debris, which I highly recommend. The magnetic covers fit perfectly and easily snap into place. Their off-white color is a perfect match for our ceilings and very neutral. The sound is full and clear and the subwoofer adds just the right amount of bass. Overall, I think they sound great and getting them in a complete kit was a perfect solution for my 5.1 home theatre system. I bought a JBL MA510 receiver from Best Buy, which also does a great job driving these speakers and seems to be a perfect match. For the money and especially when on sale, these are hard to beat.

They not only sound great, but appear very nice and sleek. Well worth the price and the guys from Greek squad did an awesome job at installing them.

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.

The speakers are amazing. Easy install. Great sound paired with a Yamaha Aventage A2A. I have 6x 6R speakers installed and a VX66LCR running as a center channel. Dual SVS SB1000 subs. 15x18 room with acoustic panels. They sound impressive. They have punch and presence. TV and Movies are beyond a theater experience. I have 4 additional Mag6R mounted in the soffits of my home providing beautiful outdoor sound. 2 of the included 8” subs are mounted underneath my front and rear decks, protected from the elements. I have 2 big 5 channel speaker setups, KEF Q and Polk LSi M. These are far more detailed and less fatiguing than the KEF, and although impressive, they aren’t quite as detailed as the 3 way Polk. I’ve purchased all of my Sonance on sales, and wouldn’t pay the “retail” or MSRP - I wouldn’t for any speaker or receiver, but will say these are an amazing value. The subs are actually pretty nice when fed LFE, but line out isn’t great.

I was finishing my basement and wanted to go with a cleaner look and stay away from tower speakers. After listening to several other options in the demo room I decided to go with these. The installation was an easy process and they look absolutely great in the ceiling. The sub is just ok, or I would give the package a 5 star rating. I decided to use my 10" Klipsch Sub instead as I like a little more punch with movies and music.

the installation for these speaker are straight forward. The drywall locking system is very strong and robust. I had zero worries about there speaker stability. being able to tilt the tweeter and speaker made the listening experience that much better. These speakers sound great. There was no subwoofer cable in the box.

These speakers are great, switched from a floor standing setup. I was concerned about sound and was pleasantly suprise by the quality. Installation was simple and straightforward. Build of the speakers were amazing and solid. The subwoofer is a little underwhelming but provides a nice balance when watching TV. Find it lacking power while watch or listing to movies and music. music.

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.

Got these on sale, and was honestly skeptical about them. How good could they be if they are on sale for nearly 75% off! I talked to a 2 different sales people in best buy and both recommendated these over some other in ceiling I was looking at in the $125 - $200 per speaker range. They were very easy to install and look amazing. The magentic grill works great. One I hooked up to my new Denon receiver, WOW!!! These are great sounding speakers. I highly recommend them!!

I haven’t hooked this up yet but the price was INSANELY cheap! So I had to take advantage of this deal! Can’t wait to put these all up in my upstairs ceilings!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m very happy with my Sonance speaker. It was easy to install, delivers clear and balanced sound, and fills the room with rich audio. I especially like the crisp highs, detailed mids, and impressive overall performance for both music and movies. The build quality is excellent, and the speaker blends seamlessly into my space. Overall, it’s a high-quality speaker that does exactly what I need. Highly recommended!

The sound is amazing and it looks great in my ceiling. I had prewired surround sound so it was very easy to install.

Excellent, highly underrated speaker system! Perfect for home theater system and in ceiling music setups. The 6/12” speaker provide clear, precise sound architecture provided from a proper amplifier. (Home theater amp or Sonos). Frequency ranges of 40hz-20khz provides full in-depth sound. The unique ability to aim the woofer and tweeters allows you to customize the direction of the sound. The Sub packs an incredible punch for its size and the low 32 hz frequency provides ground shaking bass. Highly recommended, modestly priced, and only at Best Buy! This is a deal that cannot be beat.

Excellent sound system! Value for money. Easy to install.

The sound quality is amazing especially for the sale price I got it for. Great purchase and the hook up was super easy.
