Alpha Series In-Wall

I used 4 of these as surround speakers in my home theater project and couldn’t be happier! Robust drivers, beefy crossovers, sturdy and hassle-free mounting system, great magnetic grills and a treble attenuation selector that remains accessible after installation. This is a very good design for a value-priced speaker. My Denon AVR judged these four speakers as almost identical, and easily equalizable to flat down to 40hz. I set the AVR crossover to 60hz since these are surrounds and I have plenty of low-end available from the subs. They all tested to be almost identical in terms of frequency response. Not a surprise, but not always the case in this price range. They also have very sturdy spring-loaded gold-plated terminals that can handle any wire, or connector you care to use. These turned out to be a great match for the MP Alpha ceiling speakers I used for Atmos height speakers. Highly recommended!

When I decided to finish this wall, I needed to come up with an idea for doing in wall speakers that wouldn't disrupt the flow of the textured panels. The panels have some depth to them so trimming out an in wall would have been difficult. I found these and they fit the bill perfectly, I had room on both sides as well as the top. The speakers themselves have an adjustable angle and allowed me to position them perfectly, sound quality wise I am happy, they may not be the best out there but the price also matches what you get. I would say for most people this is more than they could ask for. My wife and kids think its amazing so I am happy. The first comment I get from all of my friends is, YOU PUT THOSE IN WRONG THEY ARE FACING EACH OTHER. I then pull a grill off and show them. Would surly buy again, well I did only I used the other version that is not adjustable in my bedroom home theatre in the 6.5" version.

The engineering leaves something to be desired. The binding posts are push-type, which is fine except the way they’re positioned makes it a real chore to get the wires into them. Also the mounting ears jumped out of their housing when the screws were tightened. We discovered that the screws all needed to be run in first, that is, tighten each one and then back it out before putting the speaker in the wall. Cosmetically they look nice, although they’re large, 10x14 and 6” deep. That depth may be a problem in a standard framed wall, where you’ll be 2” short on cavity depth. Sound is fine. I’m using them as surrounds but they seem pretty robust with good range and clarity. For the money they’re a good value.

I used these to replace some much older, poor-quality rectangular speakers that were originally installed in the ceiling the home we bought. Since we already had a rectangular hole, we used these "in-wall" as "in-ceiling" since we only need to slightly enlarge the hole. These fit either direction between 16" on-center joists or studs as long as you're careful. For the money, all I can say is WOW. They are complete overkill for ceiling/atmos duty but are a lovely addition for certain music scenarios. I am glad I went with the 8" 3-way version--you won't be disappointed. I am looking forward to hearing them after they've had a chance to break in, but so far they are doing a reasonably good job of blending in and keeping up with the rest of my system despite being rather different and significantly cheaper. Packaging was sufficient, construction was solid. Are they the best sounding or best built speakers out there? Certainly not. But the build quality is adequate to above-average and they sound like they are going to be excellent once they are broken in. For what Monoprice is charging for these, I couldn't really be happier.

I am a big fan of Monoprice as they always seem to offer quality products for a fair price. These speakers are no exception. High-quality feel and weight; adjustable tweeters; relatively easy installation; great sound. There really isn’t much to complain about. When you are looking for best bang for your buck, Monoprice is hard to beat.

I installed these a few days ago, so the speakers are not even fully broken in yet, but they sound great. I have Polk and JBL ceiling speakers that are also 6.5” in these sound significantly better. Surprising Bass response considering it doesn’t have any purpose built enclosure. Build quality is good, I really like the spring loaded terminals and the magnetic grill. They only protrude from the wall about a quarter of an inch and aren’t very noticeable which is what I was going for even though the speaker is pretty attractive with all the carbon fiber.

One of the most underrated speakers. Sound great plenty of bass and Cristal clear highs. I can't believe the price

When speaker is placed in opening of the wall, some of the clips don't turn, they get stuck behind their own housing, and so they do never end up securing the speaker to the drywall. I have installed plenty of speakers in walls and ceilings (I'm a builder), but never had any issues before like I've had with this speaker. Also, I've painted plenty of speaker grilles before. This has to be done very carefully as it's easy to clog up the little holes. It's clearly stated in the instructions that this grille is paintable, so we did. It turned out terrible. Despite careful application, several holes got clogged. BTW, I do love Monoprice and as a builder I use several of their products regularly. But this speaker didn't work out and will be returned.

Easy to install and no issues

Well constructed, easy installation, quality woofer, tweeter, and crossover components. Speakers have a huge sound stage handle a ton of power with out distortion. The adjustable tweeter is and magnetic gill is a plus. Very fast shipping in Canada 5 out of 5 stars.

POR LO QUE PAGUE ESTAN MUY BIEN

Can’t complain, easy to install and sounds great so far!

BIEN FABRICADAS Y SE ESCUCHAN BASTANTE BIEN ; MONOPRICE ES CONFIABLE ES EL TERCER PRODUCTO QUE HE COMPRADO DE LA MARCA Y NO DEFRAUDA
