Good Speakers - Good Value
While admittedly not an audiophile, I have been quite pleased with the quality of sound from these speakers. I purchased six of these to mount in-ceiling to round out my 7.1 system. The aim-able tweeters on these speakers make it possible to fine-tune a sweet spot. I was quite impressed with the quality and sturdiness of the mounting system. No rattles or anything out of the ordinary. Overall, a great value on speakers that sound like they should cost much more.
AudioSource AS6C 6" In-Ceiling Speakers
Mainly using to extend my TV/DVD and some CD audio into my Kitchen (kitchen and living room is one open area). Hooked them up in the ceiling above my island out of a Sony TV (Var. out) into older Yamaha pro logic (80W) reciever and about 50 ft. of 14 gauge wire for each speaker with this amount of wire & wattage rating tought they would have been alittle power hungry but thier NOT). TV sounds great fills the entire area (kitchen & Living area) with a cleaner richer sound now don't have to blow the person out in living area to hear from kitchen. I've been into home audio for 20+ yrs. bought these speakers based on my budget and are my first pair of inwall speakers ( with 2 kids want to get every thing off the floor) , so I started with this area of my house & these speakers because I want to do a complete inwall surround in living area but didn't want to commit to the full package with out hearing the quality, so yes I'll purchase the complete system when budget allows, Moreover if I had a little higher budget $50-75 per pair I think I would have been wasting my money. The Music\CD audio does'nt seem as good but thats not what i purchased them for, so I don't know that I would recommend for music only applications (if you have high expectations?). Never the less I'm Happy.
Easy to install. Very good sound
I wasn't expecting a whole lot from these, given that they didn't cost a fortune. However, I was pleasantly surprised by them in nearly every way.
The only minor quibble I had was with the somewhat paltry installation instructions. It took a while, for example, to figure out how to remove the screen from in front of the speaker in order to access the screws. (push one of the screws forward from the back side to give it a push.)
However, getting over that tiny hurdle was the trickiest part. The installation procedure was very easy. Cut a hole in the drywall using the included template, attach your wiring, put the speaker in the hole and start turning the mounting screws. A leg swings out from each screw when you begin turning, which holds the speaker inside the hole, and you tighten each screw down to secure it firmly.
The sound is very good. I recommend you ignore their instructions about insulating inside your ceiling cavity. I really like a warm, bass-rich sound, and the more open space you leave in the mounting area, the more these speakers use your ceiling as a speaker cabinet. If you like a brighter sound, you may want to shove some fiberglass insulation inside the hole a foot in either direction before installation.
Overall, a goood bargain. I'm sure you can get superior sound if you're willing to spend 3 or 4 times as much, but it's hard to imagine beating these with anything else in this price range.
