My dad is looking to put few pairs of Cyber Acoustic CA-3492's in his new house. I know this is a long shot, but has anybody heard them?
They are two way with a 6.5" woven Kevlar woofer that has a rubber surround and a 1/2" dome tweeter. The tweeter seems to have some sort of waveguide on it.
I thought only better drivers were made from woven Kevlar, am I wrong on that one?
If you've heard them or heard of them, please tell me what you can.
They retailed for $100-$130 and Home Depot is closin em out for $55.
I'm sure these aren't audiophile speakers but my dad can't hear worth a crap anyway.
Also, if you have other suggestions in the same price range, I'm listening. Thanks

Tough price range...if he can go a bit more....

I just put in Axiom Audio M2 inwalls:

http://www.axiomaudio.com/t2.html

I wanted something fairly inexpensive and was curious about trying Axiom speakers anyways, so I went for it. They came with a template for cutting, which made installation really easy, I just taped the template up and cut off that. They have a completely sealed back, which makes the sound much better and also (as important for inwall installation) keeps the dust and insulation out of the crossovers and suspension... and they have quality terminations.

They sound extremely good. I was expecting 'something to have background music in the living spaces of the house' and got something that I want to listen to music on. I'm very impressed with them.

The negatives are that I think the grills look a little cheesy. They are cloth and have a Axiom logo on them (which is removable).

I think spending a bit more for the inwalls is worth it if it makes installation easier and the backs are sealed. To me the biggest cost inwalls is the work to put them in. It's a hidden cost that should be considered.

Thanks for the link Midnight. My dad is waaaayyy too cheap to spend the money for the Axioms. Good info though as I may upgrade mine.
As far as ease of installation, this is a new house and the electrician will have to do it on the trim out.
I do like the closed back idea. Keeping junk out and not losing a bunch of sound in the attic or walls has got to be a good thing.
In new construction, do you think the wall could be built in a way to work as a TL design?
