Revel Salons in an enclosure?


In an attempt to hide my large Revel Salons, I am considering placing them behind cabinets. How much will this compromise it's sound? I know the Salons have a rear port and rear firing tweeter.

just because someone gets paid for what they are doing doesn't mean they are good at it IMO

just go Bose
You are not going to find any inwall speaker that is as good as the Salons. A good starting point would be the Revel I30 inwalls. As far as the cabinet goes that you plan to put the salons in, it could be made from solid gold but it's still going to screw up the sound of the speakers. THESE SPEAKERS ARE MADE TO BE FREE-STANDING! Listen to what Leftistelf said above and fire your interior designer and hire an acoustic engineer.
I thought I was listening? Hence the question, what are my alternatives besides the Salons which can be cabinet mounted or wall mounted?

Should I go with the Bose 901s, I heard they are the best .

From what I have heard, the best in walls are the legacy audio ones...never heard them myself but they may be right up your alley...but from what I also gather, the best soundstaging will come from freestanding speakers...so it's a decision that your eyes and ears will have to make...sonics vs. speaker consealment...oh...the Bose comment was toungue in cheek.
