Customer Ratings & Reviews

First off I am a hi fi enthusiast, I have very high end components in my sound room, my review may be a bit critical. Installation was very easy, just know where the joists are. For the sound, very weak considering they are list as high end speakers. My Defintive tech. DI8r ceiling speakers out perform these by miles, they are a bit pricier, the $899.00 reg. price for these then is an obvious deceptive sales tactic. The sound of these speakers are very bright, there is no crossover selection on the speakers themselves. There is virtually zero bass output, I had expected some base, not like a box speaker, but some. I am trying different install arrangements to get better sound, so far no luck. I am using these for music in a spare room wife would not allow me to have "real" speakers. I amuse to listening to extreme hi fi in a dedicated listening room. We have the Def tec. ceiling speakers in our kitchen and the sound very good for ceiling speakers.as far as a surround speaker I can not comment. I personally would look else where if you are looking for speaks to recreate music.

Great quality and price. The sound is amazing. Ordering more.

Great for Atmos and easy to install! Don't be too intimidated

what can i say, i have 40 of them. they are pretty good, but not even close to broken in.

Works perfectly with a Sonos amp and soundar set for a surreal surround experience!

These are the best speakers for ceiling. Just need a good system to pair up

Excellent Speaker. Sit flush to the ceiling and has incredible sound.

The installed 4 speakers looked and sounded great.

Excellent sound. Well balanced and looks good too.

If a mid-range tin can sound is what you want, have at it. Horrible sound. Even with a Sub, the mids are lifeless and disconnected from harsh highs. Sounds like a car speaker from 1982. 6” B&W blew these away at a similar price point. For $1k you are being taken; for $299 these are still expensive for this sound. The comparison at Best Buy was surprising. The VSP series 3-way is better because the lows coverup the lifeless mids, but still a tin-can compared to any of the B&W or DM or Martin Logan. The only time these sound listenable is for documentaries with a deep-voice narrator. Think castles of England YouTube. I suppose if all you listen to is rap, then maybe these would suffice, given how auto-tuned and compressed that is anyway. For any music with space and/or depth, you won’t hear it here. I really wanted to like these. They are my not-too-expensive-for-the-ceiling option. Unfortunately, I find these painful to listen to. The music is so lifeless and flat, and disconnected from reality, I’d rather listen via Alexa - yes, they are that bad.

Large speakers for that extra umph in a surround sound system

The quality of these speakers seemed fine but hooked them up before installing and they sounded very thin and tinny, almost no bass. For outside to listen to ballgames or such they would probably be just fine. But for music I just thought they missed the mark.

These are routinely marked up to give the illusion of a deep discount for deal of the day. Regular price is usually around $300 regular price.
