He're my philosophy on this one. The "budget in wall" segment is very price competitive. Although all owners will like their own speaker you really don't know which $500 speaker you are going to like best unless you hear them. Given that, I would just assume the top 3-4 selling speakers in the segment are all pretty good, and look for the best deal you can get on any one of these and take your chances. Like you, I ended up with a pair of very nice paradigm in walls for my surround channels on ebay this way. So just draw up a shortlist of 3-4 and look for a killer deal.
What's important in a budget HT in wall speaker??
I have decided to keep my 2 channel music and multichannel HT systems separate. I will be using 5 identical in walls for the HT, don't want to spend a huge amount. The room is about 4K cu feet. What are the important characteristics for these speakers?? My guess is that clear treble for voices/effects and a cost effective subwoofer (Hsu maybe) would be the way to go. I will likely use a mid range AVR, maybe get a cheapie amp down the road if I feel I need to move more air.
I have some Paradigm AMS 150s in the ceiling of my bathroom driven by a sonos integrated. for $150 off ebay, they sound pretty damn good. i was thinking of something from that line.
Any suggesstions??
