Inwalls for large room

[MidnightSensi2]

Looking to expand distributed audio for a friend to the living room. The construction of the house allows for one side of the room to have a pair of inwall speakers (the other walls are exterior concrete, can't get wires there, etc).

Music is listened to at a pretty loud volume, and without a subwoofer in the room, some low end extension would be nice.

Any recommendations? I'm at a bit of a loss, so many speaker manufacturers lol. Had good luck with the Axiom inwalls in another installation (not sure how I get sucked into these hehe)... maybe the M22 would be good?

Budget is between 500-2,000 for the pair. Any thoughts?

If you want in walls that can be cranked up without getting muddy or harsh and that can handle some power I would contact John over at Source Tech. That budget should net him some great speakers.

Yeah, I'd rather buy from a larger company. I'm normally a big supporter of smaller businesses, but, for something going in the wall - I want a company company hehe.

Source Technology is a company company. Their main source of business is OEM work for other companies though. I can't say which one's obviously, but they make some speakers for a few big companies and John's own line of Source Technology is pretty well known through his B&M distributors. They're not as big as B&W and KEF, but they're not a small business either.

They're interesting! I might try a pair of their bookshelves for myself, then once comfortable recommend. (I'm a bookshelf speaker/monitor maniac)

But, I want to stick with a larger company for this... it's in wall lol. Ideally a closed back design that doesn't require drywall work.

Triad has become a favorite for in walls, but, this application has to be closer to Axioms 'cut and put in the hole' approach, versus drywall work.

I'm ordering some just to try them lol. They are cheap, and, i've always felt as long as build quality as good, for distributed audio... spending a lot can be wasteful (poor acoustics).

This is an excellent option! Plus I've had good experiences with them before.
