As we all know, in-wall/in-ceiling speakers are quickly becoming very popular these days due to the arrival of new audio formats. Their ability of disappearing and not taking space in the room make them an appealing option - at least to me. Too bad my walls and ceiling are made of concrete - which makes installation much more difficult. But for those without this "limitation" who are also looking for a new set of in-wall speakers, check out the V85 In-Wall Speaker from Polk Audio.
The V85 belongs to their already famous Vanishing Series and features one 8" Dynamic Balanced driver and a 1" silk dome tweeter. The V85's design consists of Polk's patented Rotating Cam System which they say reduces any vibration caused by the driver's movement. It also features a wafer-thin Sheer-Grille that attaches magnetically. See pic below.
