Sonance - MAG6R - Mag Series 6-1/2" 2-Way In Ceiling Speakers (Pair) - Paintable White

I purchased 8 of these speakers to finish off my 9.1.2 theater room. The reviews were all pretty good. I was hesitant in buying these because I wanted to stick with Paradigm. I’ve been using Paradigm speakers for over 20yrs and just love their sound. The price was $169.99 a pair much lower then the Paradigm’s I wanted. The very next day these went on sale for $99.99 a pair. Best Buy wouldn’t match the price because they were already on sale. I ended up returning them all and repurchasing them for the $99.99 price. A friend did the install and that was pretty easy. They look good and they sound excellent on movies. So far I’m very satisfied and would highly recommend buying them. These are “ceiling speakers” however I have them installed in the ceiling and the walls. If you do walls make sure you have the depth. Ceiling is no problem.

I bought 2 sets of these. Put one set in the wall with the tv, and one set in the ceiling over the couch. I also put a center speaker in the wall above the tv and have a Polk subwoofer, all hooked up to an old Onkyo receiver/amp with a digital audio connection from the tv. It sounds pretty amazing!! Great speakers for the price. Note that these are too deep for a normal wall, but I have an extra deep wall. I also painted the grilles. The grilles can only be sprayed, as brushing won’t work with the tiny holes. I used my dark green wall paint, thinned it a lot and used an HVLP sprayer. They came out great. I did not paint the ones in the ceiling, since it’s white. Installation is very simple. They come with a good, stiff template.

I was able to get these price matched on a daily deal, worth every penny. They’re flush and sleek, they would fit into any room. There definitely not worth $700, but for the price that I got them for, they’re worth the price. All around great speaker (clarity, highs everything). I would buy. If my receiver allowed it, I would defiantly buy more. Super easy to install, taking me 15 minutes. I was dreading to install them, but they made it simple to install. For context, I bought them around $169, then price match the next day for $129. Great Deal!

I recently installed the Sonance MAG6R pair in my home theater/ceiling surround setup and here’s how they perform after a few weeks of use: What I like: • The installation was straightforward: the template and mounting hardware made it easy to fit into the ceiling, and the magnetic paintable grilles let them blend in seamlessly. Users consistently report “installation is a breeze.” • The sound quality is very good for ceiling speakers. They deliver clear highs, well-defined mids, and “rich bass” for what ceiling mount speakers can realistically do. One reviewer: “sound is fantastic… installation was a breeze.” • The tweeter and woofer are manually aimable, which gives you flexibility to direct sound toward the listening area rather than straight down. (Helpful when you’re using them for overhead or surround channels.) • Excellent value when you catch them at a deal: many users say the performance punches above the price. My verdict: For most home-theater or multi-room audio setups—especially when you’re looking for in-ceiling speakers for surround or height channels—the MAG6R is a very solid choice. They hit a sweet spot between cost, performance, and installation ease.

These are very capable in-ceiling speakers for the money. Considering the solid build, aesthetics, thoughtful design and noteworthy performance, these speakers cant be beat. I'm replacing a pair of 6.5" Pyle in-ceilings I've had for a year and although they sounded ok I was never happy with them so I started shopping for replacements. Looked at Yamaha, Klipsch and Polk but have always overlooked Sonance due to the MSRP. Also dont think they're worth $600 but definitely a steal for $150 sale price. Glad I waited for it to go back on sale. The Pyles dont even compare to these Sonance speakers. I'm using them for surround sound and they integrate well with my set up. My system is consist of Def Tech BP9040 towers with A90 Atmos toppers, CS9060 center channel speaker and a single SVS SB-2000 subwoofer.  All powered by Denon AVR S740H and I'm delighted to say the Sonance MAG6R speakers are able to keep up with my set up with grace especially in movies where tonal timber was very noticeable with the Pyles when sound moves from front to rear. Stand alone they sound decent with more emphasis on the highs in both music and movies. Mid range is satisfyingly crisp and clear. I'm hoping it would sound even better after the break in period but happy with them as is The speakers are made of high quality materials and the packaging is excellent! Install was a cinch. Had to make the original opening bigger to accommodate the size of the Sonance and it took me about 2 hrs including prep work without wiring. They cleanly sit flush in my ceiling as shown in the pictures I uploaded. Check them out. If you're moderately handy, have the proper tools and can follow instructions go for it! You'll be glad you did. Side note: you're probably considering in-ceiling speakers because your space is at a premium or just dont prefer seeing a room full of black boxes (both my case) but desire theater sound. With that in mind dont compare these to full size or even book shelf speakers. Keep it real and they wont disappoint.
