The overall quality is very good. These are great for this kind of application. This is a great speaker that I'm using for my surround speakers in a Dolby PLII-z setup. Frequency response gets tinny as high power when the efficiency of the horn takes over and the cone driver can't keep up. As the water evaporates, the paint should not block off the little holes in the grill. The plastic cone woofer is very rigid and light weight. They may be going for the "modern look" of in-wall speakers.
Water down the paint with maybe a 1:10 water:paint ratio. I have them installed as front, upper, and surround left/right with a Klipsch Synergy C3 center channel and 2 Polk Audio PSW-10 subs.I think I got the pair for something around $100. I found that painting the grill to match my walls a bit tricky. The horn is NOT positionable, but in my application (6 surround speakers), it doesn't really matter anyway.The sound quality is awesome for the price point, but lackluster if you want to use it as a main speaker. If you're using it as surround speakers with a proper center channel and subs, then you can balance all of that and get a nice power balance across all frequencies as various volumes.Some may not care all that much about power curves, frequency bands, etc. Don't worry if it looks like the paint will dry as a web into the grill. If it does, you should be able to come back with a needle to open it up.Overall, I thought these made great surround speakers and okay main speakers.
Good on highs, maybe little too bright for main applications, but excellent choice for surround usage. I have M&Ks, and this integrates well with older speakers that cost thousands of dollars. Rare bargain from Amazon.
Great speakers. I bought these to add some additional sound to the living room which is adjacent to the main surround sound system (5-Klipsch Quintets, 1 Infinity sub)in the "media" room. Very easy to install. I would have been happy with these at 3x the cost. The highs are great and when paired with a cental subwoofer, the whole package works well. Enjoy.Klipsch Synergy KHW-5 In-Wall Loudspeaker (Pair, Black)
The seller was very quick getting the speakers to me. They sound great and were very easy to install. Hard to beat these, especially at the price offered.
We purchased a pair of Klipsch KHW-5 in-wall speakers for use as surround speakers in our living room. They are also ruggedly built, and their in-wall design allows them to disappear in the room. The KHW-5s surprised me and are an excellent value with very good sound quality, especially given the price. Like most Klipsch speakers, the KHW-5s are very efficient. For the money, they would be hard to beat for our application. We were able to design a very nice surround system without breaking the bank.
