| Overall rating: |
|
The state-of-the-art HT-8C is a round 2-way in-ceiling speaker for use in a wide variety of applications, from stereo and whole-house music systems, to complete home theaters. It incorporates a surface-mounted .75-inch pivoting titanium tweeter that allows you to aim the tweeter towards the listening area for great sound anywhere in the room. The white grilles and frames are paintable and allow the speakers to blend into any decor. Their 8-inch polypropylene woofers enable them to deliver lower and louder bass output than one would expect from an in-ceiling speaker. Mounting tabs are included for easy installation.

Fabulous
Needed a serious in-wall speaker. Looked at the bigger “name” brands first, then found these gems. Adjustable directionality on the tweeter. Adjustable sound level on the tweeter and midrange allowed me to tune the sound. Nice woofer. They installed easy and look great. I installed some thermal/sound insulation above and below in the wall cavity for baffling. Added a subwoofer (which isn’t necessary). I have a picky ear, and I am very pleased with the sound. If you need the highest audiophile quality, you’re not buying in-wall speakers. But if you are buying in-wall speakers and demand the best possible sound quality (and it is very good), these are a good choice.
Amazing
I had the BIC VI-38’s (3 way in wall and was happy. I bought a pair of the HT-8W speakers for my new room on my house to try them even though its spec.s were the same as the 38’s. They blew away the 38’s. I’ve compared the HT-8 in-wall against most of the in-wall speakers and they are the best for under $500. If you have a stereo system that allows you to differentiate speaker quality, then you will want these speakers. I’m now upgrading all of my in-walls to the HT-8W.
Note, I prefer the sound quality with the grills off.
