Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)OK I DID DAYS OF HOMEWORK AND RESEARCH ON CEILING SPEAKERS. THERE IS NO REALLY DIFINITIVE INFORMATION OUT THERE ON THEM AS THEY HAVE SO MANY VARIABLE TO CONSIDER. BIGGEST THING YOU NEED TO LOOK AT IS DISTANCE TO WHERE YOU'LL BE SITTING AND WHERE THE SPEAKERS ARE LOCATED. ALOT OF CEILING SPEAKERS ARE 20 DEGREES SLANTED TO THE SEATED. THATS FINE BUT AT 20 DEGREES YOU HAVE TO FIGURE 1 FOOT OUT FROM SPEAKER FOR EVERY FOOT HIGH OF THE CIELING. I.E-10 FOOT HIGH CEILING THE SOUND HITS FLOOR 10 FOOT OUT FROM SPEAKER. IF YOUR ROOM IS DEEPER THEN YOU HAVE TO TAKE A "REFLECTED" SOUND WAVES. VERSUS HAVE A SPEAKER FACE TO HEAD ON. IN MY OPINION THIS IS WHY MANY CEILING SYSTEMS FAIL TO "WOW" ANYONE. THESE SPEAKERS ACTUALLY DROP DOWN TO 45 DEGREES AND THAT MEANS THE SOUND IS FACING YOU DIRECTLY. I LOVE THAT THEY OSCILLATE 270 DEGREES TOO. WHEN WE HAVE FRIENDS OVER THE SPEAKERS TURN TO FACE THE BACK OF MY GREAT ROOM TOWARDS THE KITCHEN (WHERE EVERYONE CONGREGATES) SO THE SOUND QUALITY IS BETTER THEN AS WELL. I HAVE BEEN USING THESE SPEAKERS FOR 3 WEEKS NOW AND REALLY LOVE THE SOUND QUALITY. i HAVE A 12 INCH KLIPSCH SUBWOOFER AS WELL AND THAT REALLY DOES A GREAT JOB OF BALANCING THE SOUND OUT. WHEN YOU WANT TO HIDE THE SPEAKERS JUST HIT THE BUTTON AND IT POPS BACK INTO THE CEILING. i REPLACE 5 KLIPSCH BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS WITH THE SPEAKERCRAFT AND HAVEN'T MISSED A BEAT! IN FACT THE SPEAKERCRAFT HAS SUCH A BETTER MIDRANGE THAT MY WIFE AND I HEAR THE DIALOG MUCH BETTER ON THEM THAN THE KLIPSCH'S!! WE CAN TURN DOWN THE VOLUME AND STLL HEAR EVERY NUANCE! ALL IN ALL TERRIFIC IDEA AND SPEAKER!! ALSO I HAVE A HARMONY 880 REMOTE AND ITS GOT A MACRO BUILT IN FOR THE SPEAKERCRAFT (NICE SURPRISE) i WENT WITH 3 TIME SERIES FOR THE FRONTS AND 2 SPEAKERCRAFT WIDES FOR THE REARS. BEST THING I'VE DONE IN YEARS!!
AS A SIDE NOTE- ITS IMPORTANT TO THINK THROUGH WHERE THE SPEAKERS WILL BE INSTALLED. I HAVE A 3 STORY TOWNHOME. THE SPEAKERS ARE IN THE CEILING AND THERE WAS A 11 INCH SPACE TILL YOU HIT THE 3RD FLOOR FLOORING. ITS A NATURAL SPEAKER CABINET! IF YOU HAVE VAULTED OR CATHEDRAL CEILINGS THIS WILL CHANGE FROM THE SOUND THAT I GET IN A TIGHTER SPACE. THE SPEAKERCRAFT SPEAKERS ARE IN THIER OWN CASES SO THE SOUND IS GOING TO HAVE ROUGHLY THE SAME SOUND NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF ATTIC OR FLOOR THEY GO INTO. THE IMPORTANT THING IS THE SOUND CAN FACE YOU DIRECTLY. GOOD LUCK
