In-Wall Speakers - HSU or HTD

[BriReeves629]

I am looking for a pair of in-wall speakers for my garage. I am running a whole home system with an Emotiva A-800 amp(50W per channel). I am trying to decide between the Hsu HIW-1 and the HTD HD-W80. The HTD has an 8” driver and costs $120 less, but I have heard great things about HSU products. There will not be a subwoofer in this room. 100% music obviously. Any other recommendations on this price range would be appreciated, but if anyone has either of these or similar products from these companies your opinion would be appreciated.

Neither speaker is going to give you very powerful bass. I would either look into adding a subwoofer or look into in-walls that have more bass capability (those won't be cheap). If you can live without bass below 80 Hz, I think either would suffice. My guess is that the drivers on the Hsu might be a bit more robust, but that won't make a big difference if you won't be cranking them hard.
