Many people think of Triad as an accessible company to the regular Joe. What they don't know is that Triad has an entry-level ceiling speaker that has a lot to offer at a reasonable price. Take the R28 In-Ceiling Speaker as an example.
This nice speaker features one 8.5" carbon fiber woofer, and a 1" adjustable tweeter, so you can aim it at the listening position for better performance.
"The grill is extremely designer-friendly with a micro bezel and you have a choice of either a round or a square grill, at no additional cost. The speaker can retro-fit into an existing ceiling, and new construction brackets are also available. Installation is simple and straightforward. Custom paint matching is available from Triad, at a modest cost." - Triad Speakers
