Monoprice 3-Way Carbon Fiber In-Wall Speakers - 6.5-Inch, Pair, With Magnetic Grille, Black - Alpha Series

I used these to replace some much older, poor-quality rectangular speakers that were originally installed in the ceiling the home we bought. Since we already had a rectangular hole, we used these "in-wall" as "in-ceiling" since we only need to slightly enlarge the hole. These fit either direction between 16" on-center joists or studs as long as you're careful. For the money, all I can say is WOW. They are complete overkill for ceiling/atmos duty but are a lovely addition for certain music scenarios. I am glad I went with the 8" 3-way version--you won't be disappointed. I am looking forward to hearing them after they've had a chance to break in, but so far they are doing a reasonably good job of blending in and keeping up with the rest of my system despite being rather different and significantly cheaper. Packaging was sufficient, construction was solid. Are they the best sounding or best built speakers out there? Certainly not. But the build quality is adequate to above-average and they sound like they are going to be excellent once they are broken in. For what Monoprice is charging for these, I couldn't really be happier.

I received the speakers but I have not installed them. The speakers were received in perfect condition and the build quality appears excellent. I will update after installation.

I am a big fan of Monoprice as they always seem to offer quality products for a fair price. These speakers are no exception. High-quality feel and weight; adjustable tweeters; relatively easy installation; great sound. There really isn’t much to complain about. When you are looking for best bang for your buck, Monoprice is hard to beat.

I installed these a few days ago, so the speakers are not even fully broken in yet, but they sound great. I have Polk and JBL ceiling speakers that are also 6.5” in these sound significantly better. Surprising Bass response considering it doesn’t have any purpose built enclosure. Build quality is good, I really like the spring loaded terminals and the magnetic grill. They only protrude from the wall about a quarter of an inch and aren’t very noticeable which is what I was going for even though the speaker is pretty attractive with all the carbon fiber.

I used 4 of these as surround speakers in my home theater project and couldn’t be happier! Robust drivers, beefy crossovers, sturdy and hassle-free mounting system, great magnetic grills and a treble attenuation selector that remains accessible after installation. This is a very good design for a value-priced speaker. My Denon AVR judged these four speakers as almost identical, and easily equalizable to flat down to 40hz. I set the AVR crossover to 60hz since these are surrounds and I have plenty of low-end available from the subs. They all tested to be almost identical in terms of frequency response. Not a surprise, but not always the case in this price range. They also have very sturdy spring-loaded gold-plated terminals that can handle any wire, or connector you care to use. These turned out to be a great match for the MP Alpha ceiling speakers I used for Atmos height speakers. Highly recommended!

Replaced Boston Acoustics with these and they sound incredible! I’ll be ordering more of these!

Great sound and perfect fit for my set up. I love the bezel and the way it blend into the wall.

I'm building a new house and will have in-wall/ceiling speakers in 3 adjacent rooms (living/dining/kitchen). I've been a music and audio fan for over 50 years, so I know that you have to listen to the speakers before you install them. So thanks to Amazon's excellent return policy I've bought and tested 14 different speakers, and these are hands down the best, not just the best at their price point, but the best. I even tested them against a $600 per speaker from Best Buy and these were the clear winner. I'm planning on having a subwoofer strategically placed near the center of the 3 room arrangement, so I'm less concerned abuot bass. If you can't get a sub into the area, then you might consider the 8 inch version for a little more bottom end.

I use these as the surrounds behind the couch (I know that's not the right configuration, but it's the best I could do in this room.) They're built decently and the provided template was the perfect size. The planning to make sure they're level and even took longer than the actual install. They sound fine as the surrounds and it really adds to tv shows and movies. These are probably the best value in wall speakers with frameless grills you can buy.

POR LO QUE PAGUE ESTAN MUY BIEN

Overall these are great value for the money. Not super high end but most people would be happy with them. The one small thing is the clamping system which caused me a few issues before they finally grabbed.

Sounds quite neutral and should blend well with a variety of speakers. They are not bass monsters but I'm using as front/side channel and they will be crossed over at 60Hz anyway. Recommended!

These sound nice and clear, amazing for the price. However the downside is horrible quality control. One of the crossover capacitors fell right off upon opening the box, the 2nd speaker one of the capacitors was hanging on by a thread. Beyond that they sound unbelievably great especially for the price especially if yours come with no damages
