Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far so good no complaints, using them for both Atmos and stereo speakers

Crazy good bought them for customer and hook them up with Sonos amp amazing sound

The speakers have great sound quality, and look great!

Great in-way speaker system - bought 3 pairs and excited about both the contribution they'll add to our home theater but also to the music in the game room and home gym.

I have a fairly large living room and these really make a difference. Great sound, great looking am very pleased so far.

Great sounding speakers. Have em in the garage and so far they are awesome.

Outstanding value in these speakers for the price. No regrets. Easy install.

Easy intall and amazing sound. Have since ordered 4 more.

I paired these with a sonos amp and wow the sound covered the entire space.

love these speakers.They sound great with the rest of my stereo from Best Buy.

Prices were sale discounts, saving significant $$. The experienced pro who assisted in selections with my specific sound environment in mind. The 8” ceiling mounted Sonance speakers perform. The center channel speaker, located at seating level is perfect.

I bought these speakers about 4 weeks ago and they have not disappointed me. The sound quality is very good and the bass from the speakers are also subtle and effective

Great surround sound! Easy installation and the perfect set for our ceiling mounted speakers.

Excellent quality speakers that were purchased on sale. Easy installation and the sound is amazing.

Wow is what i can say! These are huge and sound even larger. Great sound dispersion. Base is toght and controlled, mids are clear. Great for full range or as hight speakers.

In my old house, I was running a Marantz SR-5003 AVR in 5.1 mode (purchased in 2008) with Definitive Technology ProCinema 100 satellites for the front speakers, Definitive Technology in-wall speakers for the rear, a Definitive Technology ProCinema 100 center speaker, a ProCinema ProSub 100 subwoofer, and Zone 2 running Boston Acoustic outdoor speakers on the patio. When I moved, I left the in-wall and outdoor speakers with the house. I no longer use the satellites, as one has a bad tweeter, but I’m still using the center channel and subwoofer in my new home. I recently moved to a new house where I had the builder pre-wire the living room and patio for in-ceiling speakers. I’ve installed a pair of Sonance Mag8Rs for both the front and rear speakers in the living room and a pair of Mag6Rs on the patio. I’m a fairly competent audiophile (or at least I thought I was) and knew I would be sacrificing some of the surround performance with ceiling speakers in a large room. However, I was more interested in using them to play music in multi-channel stereo mode, mostly at low volumes. Even after using the Audyssey setup on the Marantz AVR, the Mag8Rs sounded flat. The highs from cymbals were almost non-existent, and the snare drum sounded more like a tom-tom. After some experimentation with the Marantz EQ settings, I was able to improve the snare drum, but I have never been happy with the highs reproduced by the Mag8Rs. A few months after the move, I began having what I diagnosed as digital signal processing (DSP) issues with the Marantz. It started with the sound cutting in and out after power-up. The issue worsened, and eventually, the sound would cut in and out periodically until it stopped working altogether. During troubleshooting, I discovered that if I connected the Marantz via analog input signal sources, I could still hear sound. That led me to suspect a DSP issue. Though I’m not 100% certain, it seems like the cause. After years of heavy use, my AVR finally gave up the ghost. I replaced the Marantz with a Denon X1700H AVR. I chose the Denon primarily because the Marantz Cinema 60 (which has specs similar to the SR-5003) is priced around $1500-$1800. I knew the Denon was a lower-end model, but I thought I’d give it a shot. After installing the Denon and running its version of Audyssey, the Mag8Rs sounded just like they did with the Marantz when I first set them up. I found the Audyssey MultEQ Editor program online and paid the $20. With MultEQ, I’ve been able to improve the output from the Mag8Rs, but I still don’t like how the highs are reproduced. Although the high frequencies improve at higher volumes, the volume levels at which I hear improvement are generally louder than I typically listen. I’ve also read comments about the Mag8Rs’ bass response. In the past, I generally kept the crossover frequencies for the speakers and the subwoofer at 120Hz, but during this project, I experimented with various crossover settings for the speakers and the subwoofer. The Denon offers options ranging from 40Hz to 250Hz for all speakers and 80Hz to 200Hz for the subwoofer. I experimented with crossover frequencies as high as 200Hz on the Mag8Rs, thinking that relieving them of bass duties might help. It didn’t. This led me to question, “Am I even a remotely competent audiophile?” In the end, I settled on a 60Hz crossover for the Mag8Rs and 150Hz for the subwoofer. At 60Hz, the Mag8Rs seemed more balanced. At 120Hz and higher, they were flat. Right now, I can only give the Sonance Mag8Rs 2 stars. The Mag6Rs on the patio are powered by the Denon’s Zone 2 and are adequate for what I need out there.

I needed two in ceiling speakers for my kitchen, but didn't want to spend more than $400. These Sonance speakers were on sale at the time for $299 and had great reviews so I bought a pair. They sound great. I have a vaulted ceiling in my kitchen and they really do a nice job filling the room with sound. I'm super satisfied with my purchase. I highly recommend these for anyone looking for a reasonably priced pair of speakers!

The sound is incredible and Very clear and it was easy to set up

Great all around speaker can handle the volume without distorting the mid range

Sound is amazing and easy to install. Beautifully flush on the ceiling
