I use these speakers for ambient room music. I have a open floorplan house and put these speakers in the wall high enough to be somewhat omnidirectional. I like the round look in the wall better than the square versions. When shopping for speakers, I looked at all brands. A piece of advice on a expert distributor website was not to spend too much on in wall speakers as they are not working in an engineered speaker box, which is critical to speaker performance. In other words, more money doesn't buy you much. For ambient music, these speakers are great. They have excellent fidelity and while you can't pound out the bass, the rest of the music duplication is really good. The tweeter is very lively on this speaker, which surprised me. The size is around 8" outside diameter, so the IC8S speakers would have been huge. They were a snap to install as I had a good wall chase for running the wire. I'm very happy with this product.

I was a little hesitant to purchase these, but after reading the reviews and the seeing the price drop, I had to commit. I usually purchase Polk or other high end speakers, but I needed something for an A-BUS system that won't be played very loud. These speakers are great for the dining room, kitchen, master bed and loft. In these locations music is played at a moderate level for dining and family enjoyment. It's not where we blast our favorite music, and the speakers perform very well. And somehow the music travels very well horizontally. So even if you don't have speakers installed in every room, you will likely hear music throughout the house. This is one pleasant surprise I didn't expect. By the way, I compared these to my Polk RC80i and the sound quality was very similar. I could tell by turning up the amps that the Polk is a little better quality, but at low levels of volume, the IC6S does a good job at keeping up. So if you are doing multi-room audio, you may want to consider the IC6S.

I was a bit skeptical - however after reading reviews and having a friend who has them throughout his house, decided to buy just one pair and install them. Once I adjusted bass/treble on my amp, they sounded great. I have heard klpishes and bose and those are much much more expensive. For the money, these are great. I was cranking them and they did not distort. The 6 inch provides a good bit of bass as well. That also depends on what you are using to push them.

Very satisfied. I am purchasing more soon to do my entire main level and basement.

I just installed these speakers this weekend in my kitchen and I have to say that they are more impressive than I thought they would be for the money. I wanted something for ambient music or so that if my wife or I am cooking, we can listen to the TV (all hooked up to the receiver that is powering these speakers). Installation is easy, but a little messy given you are cutting drywall. Use a jig saw and cleanup afterwards, I couldn't imagine using a knife to cut that big of a hole in a ceiling. Be sure to pick up a volume control from somewhere (amazon and compusa have good/cheap ones) so that if you end of doing multiple rooms with these, you can individually control the volume of each room.

For the price this product represents a tremendous value. For general whole house sound system these are great speakers. I will not use them in my home theatre application though. For that I will invest more money. But for general listening these are great. I have a 12 zone whole house audio system, and these are perfect. I highly recommend them.
