I wanted to know, what are the BEST ceiling speakers that I can buy, for the CHEAPEST amount?!
This video is NOT "what are the cheapest speakers", because at about $300~$400 per PAIR they are not cheap. But compared to other high end speakers, the price for the Soundavo speakers are steal (almost half the price from the $800~$1000+ range speakers) with similar material, spec and design!
This video is more like... what are the BEST speakers, at the cheapest price. With the Soundavo IC-860CF 8 inch speaker coming in at under $200 per each (less than $400 per PAIR) , and the 6.5 inch Soundavo IC-640CF at just around $300 per PAIR. I think I have found them..
Perfect for your whole home audio application, OR definitely even your theater surround sound. You will not be disappointed, give them a try and let me know what you think in the comments. Soundavo's engineering team has been hard at work this year, and they have some truly amazing products, that have blown me away.

I purchased Soundavo after following this video. I got IC-860CF for my home completely. Honestly, I would say they are good speakers for the price range and the build quality is better but nothing too exceptional where I would say, they can replace Martin Logan or something on that level. I went to Magnolia in bestbuy to listen to different speakers for the price range and definitely I can feel the difference compared to Soundavo. But they are definitely bang for the buck.
Hi TheTKMZ15. Now the price for 8inch is same for Sonace and Soundavo, would you still recommend Soundavo. I am planning to go all ceiling speakers for surround 7.1 setup. Thanks for the great video.
I ordered these speakers and they arrived a few days ago. I am in the middle of construction and reached out to Soundavo over a week ago about pre-construction brackets that would work with these speakers and still haven't heard back from them. I am a little surprised they did not get back to me on this because I thought their products were mainly used in commercial settings before selling straight to the public. I ended up just making custom brackets out of extra plywood I had laying around. These were meant to go in my garage for left and right speakers, spaced about 8 to 10 feet apart. I was impressed with the clarity, but a little disappointed in the bass output, but overall, I think they are great speakers. I ended up moving them to my front covered porch because I discovered I want 2 single stereo ceiling speakers that each have 2 tweeters instead because I don't want to only listen to a L or R channel when hanging out sitting on one side of the garage (just my personal preference). These sound great on the front porch. Will be awesome when all the Xmas inflatables are up in the winter, and playing Xmas music in the background. So far so good, just hope they hold up over time!
Glad you like them! I still am loving mine, yes when you have family and friends over during the holidays it's great and you'll know that it was totally worth it :)
Just staple a fat strip of cardboard at each future ceiling speaker spot above/between the horizontal framing studs. Run your power/data cables to each future speaker location and coil about an arms length extra above each stapled cardboard temporarilly. Poke a hole in the middle of the cardboard and leave the ends of the coiled wires hanging down an inch or two in the center of the cardboard so it won't interfere later with installing/painting the ceiling/sheetrock. Take pics/update master blueprint: don't forget where you prepped each speaker location or you'll end up doing a lot more work. After the ceilings are installed/finished, simply cut a speaker sized hole in the proper speaker spot and bam theres your wires. Install bracket/tighten speaker clamp feet and with your best Australian accent whisper "That'll do, pig," as you slide the ceiling speaker cover/grill in place cause you are now a pro installer. (Tip: Do Not paint the speaker cover mesh screen with that thick matching leftover bucket paint. Does'nt matter if you use a paintbrush or roller, it'll probably clog all the thousand perforated holes and that's a real headache to fix or replace.)
Bravo Charlie L
Just curious, are you still glad you bought these? Im really thinking about pulling the trigger and ordered a pair of these to use as my rear speakers for my living room. Do you think these are comparable to like MartinLogan and KEF and brands like that?
I'm just curious how everyone who has had these installed feels a few months later? Why are there no reviews online on these speakers? Looking at the POLk and Klipsh as well.
I'm still very happy, I know several others have emailed me as well. Brands like soundavo and Dayton audio will probably never get the "brand name" recognition as all of the major label companies would. But soundavo and Dayton are engineered very well and priced differently because they aren't a brand name label.
Like the tastyworks sticker on the laptop :)
I just moved and left the 5 micca speakers in the ceiling, which I absolutely hated to do. I also had a polk audio floor subwoofer connected with the pioneer vsx 1022 receiver. In my personal opinion the sound was amazing!!! Every piece of sound was crystal clear. I swear many times I had to look around to make sure no one was behind me or if watching sports it sounded like the fans were sitting in the seats with me. I am purchasing the same speakers for my new home because I loved the sound so much. If they have an upgrade to those speakers maybe I will purchase the upgrade but I'm definitely sticking with the same brand. I may get a different receiver. For some reason my receiver just goes to mute on its own and I have to keep hitting the volume button every now and then to get the receiver off of mute. Overall these speakers paired with my poke audio subwoofer gave me more than enough sound to the point where my wife would complain because it sounded like war was going on especially when I played call of duty in my basement and when watching movies all I can say is wow! I definitely recommend these speakers but paired with my Polk audio subwoofer was the icing on the cake. The only difference is my old house had a drywall sealing and my new house has a drop ceiling. I hope it doesn't change the sound because the sound at the old house was fantastic! Oh and for those wondering I did not have an atmos setup. It was a standard 5.1 surround sound setup five speakers in the ceiling 1 subwoofer on the floor and the sound was amazing to me.
You never on time mention the brand name of the speaker. What is with that?
@@nullisecundusable He did Micca is the brand he did leave off the model which would be helpful..
Monoprice makes some truly excellent ceiling speakers I suggest the alpha series.. real carbon fiber cones.. a silk tweeter.. and angles 15degrees with a up to 12db switch.. for 150$ a pair.
Do you remember which model of the Micca you had. I would like to take a look for myself. Thanks in advance!
Model number would be awesome to know please
Awesome video. Do you happen to have a discount code for these speakers? (like you have a discount code for the amp)?
Yeah i think my code should still be working. TKMZ or TKMZ15
Thank you. Code works. Is there a dual-coil speaker you like besides the Dayton Audio CS622C? Soundavo doesn't seem to have a dual-coil speaker. (btw we talked about home theater bypass but I could never reply to you on your site; emails bounce - will hit you up again over a bunch of coffee to review my entire whole house audio plan as I'm about to order tons of gear for my new house under construction).
I sell alot of ELURA Blue Label .. a premium price...especially the LCR angled baffle series for atmos channels but better than ML IMO ..... also quite a few of the Red Label which are very punchy but less money
Myself, I wont have a metal dome tweeter
Do the tweeters pivot and does it come with a cutout template?
Hi ! How’d you compare them with B&W 7.5 ?
Thank you !
I just purchased monoprice 6 zone home audio multizone controller and amplifier kit. What would you recommend for speakers and wiring for this setup?
Good morning , God bless you for these videos IJN
Pls I have a question
1. Pls how can I use Bluetooth connection to play music in any zone I want
2. I saw a keypad from the soundavo website , the keypad has Bluetooth button, how can I achieve that connection in all the zones that different zones can be controlled by different Bluetooth devices.
They definitely aren’t as flat as the original ones and have more depth. The recording seems to be not very clean but maybe it’s just the upload quality and play back. Would they sound better if that had rear cup on them? Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the comment, yes doing audio comparision through youtube and all these various playback devices may not have been the best idea to try and showcase the difference! Thanks for watching
Nice content! What is your wall adjustment controller connected to?
Check out my channel videos on the WS66i it is part of that system!
monoprice amber/Alpha angled ceiling speaker. Check 'em out too.
I was hoping you could explain a little more about the switch on the face of the speaker. I'm going to be using these for ATMOS ceilings. Thanks!
Thank you for this review! I'm contemplating doing the whole home audio system. I was just wondering if you are still loving these speakers and if you had any issues with them. I'm not sure if I've heard music playing from Martin Logan speakers before, but would be curious to hear the difference between the two. Do you know if the discount codes still work for 15% off the speakers and $550 off the amp?
Hey David, yes I still love these speakers, i've not had any issues with them and they get used a lot. For the 15% code, you can checkout in 2 different orders, because TKMZ works for the amplifier and TKMZ15 works for the speakers. So if you just do it in 2 orders you should be able to get the good deals still! Let me know if you ever have any other questions. Thanks
@@TheKMZ1 Ok thank you for letting me know! Nervous to spend the money on the amp, but that is a great deal to have so many zones in one amp. I'll contact them to find out about the warranty/guarantee. Can you control treble and bass for each zone with the app?
@@bosoxkid2 I think the warranty is 30 days, yes absolutely you can control the bass/treble with the app!
@@TheKMZ1 Thanks, man! I had actually emailed Soundavo, didn't hear back, but they got back to me shortly after I had commented here. It's a 2 year warranty on the WS66i and the speakers. Still contemplating getting the amp. I'd like to be able to stream in 3 or 4 different places at the same time during a party, but I know there are some workarounds for that. Were you able to post the video on the streaming options? I haven't watched all the videos yet. I have two small kids and they keep me busy!
@@bosoxkid2 I have 2 little ones as well. You could stream 2 things wirelessly, then the soundavo has 4 remaining source inputs. They are 2 RCA inputs, 1 3.5mm and then either 1 more 3.5mm or digital optical, but not both. So the last source you can pick which one you want to use. So for your sake let's call it 2 rca input and 2 3.5mm. So you could either, use those and hook up an alexa for example, which is basically a wireless source because you can link your echoes and have it output through just the echo plugged into the amp, you could hook up any other 3rd party streaming device as a source into the rca or 3.5mm. if you have to, you can buy converters to convert the rca input into something different. You could make custom RCA cables from the amp, to a wall location like in the kitchen and then use a 3.5mm to rca aux cable to hook up phones, computers etc as a source. Basically you should be able to come up with some combination that you like because it's pretty flexible
Can you suggest good in wall speakers too ? I don’t see them from Soundavo.
Are you still able to make the 18 pin cable connectors? I need one for my system.
Do you know if these speakers could be used outdoor in a covered patio situation? The website indicates the speaker is moisture resistant, but not sure if it could be used outdoor and survive freezing temperatures in the winter. If these would not, would appreciate an suggestions for outdoor ceiling speakers? Thanks!
I don't know for 100% but my honest opinion is that yes they would be fine in a covered patio! If I was looking for in ceiling type speakers over a patio I'd use them
Great video, thanks,
ordered 4 of these speakers, Do I need enclosers for them??
It just depends on your room dynamics, watch this video and I actually talk about the back boxes! ruclips.net/video/zi59J6lPHc8/видео.html
Have you installed them yet? I just order some and will be using back boxes. Ceiling speakers are bassless without them. If you dont need them for bass, there are other aspects a box will help with, but for my purposes I probably wouldn't bother with a box for those reasons as they would mostly be perceptable by only audiophiles looking for areas of improvement or test equipment.

Are you still loving the Soundavo ceiling speakers? Im looking to install new speakers and a new amp in my home. Are you also still thinking the Soundavo ws66i is the best amp?
Still very happy with them, they sound great. I'm actually making a new video right now on their new line of (slightly cheaper) speakers. My coupon code should still work for 15% off on those. They are the SD-6S-ALU and SD-8S-ALU speaker. Yes i'm still 100% recommending the WS66i, I love it and compared to other options I think the cost / performance balance is still amazing. Soundavo recently increased their warranty period to give customers more peace of mind, they are also working on a new better Whole Home Audio amplifier (it will cost more but they are keeping the WS66i product line for those wanting cheaper options) and they are building an LCD keypad for the WS66i as a new keypad option for those that want it.
Quisiera pedirte tu opinión...como ya lo sabes. Siempre buscamos el mejor producto por el mejor precio.
Compre hace 2 años unas bocinas de techo de 10" marca RSL
Pero, no me han convecido del todo.
Y quiero me des tu opinion, quise comprar las Martin Logan pero son muy caras.
Algo que suenen mejor o sean similares , solo sonido musical....?
Estuve viendo varias marcas:
MOREL
FOCAL
KLIPCH
para mi es dificil comprar y probarlas. Pero me puedes dar tu opinión ??
Metal tweeters are not necessary better then paper or even silk
Metal is just cheaper now and that's why it's widely used in tweeters silk and textile tweeters are actually better and more accurate. Metal is actually harsh sounding but works and is cheap that's why it's used it's not necessary better. Pure aluminum tweeters are some of the best but you will hardly find pure aluminum used much any more because it's very costly
Wow, you make this stuff up as you go? Totally false information. headshake...... beryllium is some of the best material for tweeters, it's the most expensive next to diamond tweeters.
Hello do you happen to have a recent discount code for these speakers? Also would these would on a back porch in a vaulted ceiling. Moisture would be only issue they won’t see direct weather? Thanks
My discount codes should be working, are they not? Either TKMZ or TKMZ15
14:00 is it possible to convert a preexisting outlet to a controller like this? I obviously don't have much knowledge in that realm but would love a controller like that once I install my ceiling speakers! Great video and thanks. Probably going to purchase these in a few days. Now to figure out what kind of receiver/amp to run them.
If you want that type of a controller then you should get a system that can support it, such as the soundavo WS66i (check my channel videos out if you havent, and I have a discount code for them) but no, it's not possible to use one of these particular controllers. These are special which only send digital codes that these amps know what to do with. If you can't get one of these amps, your only other option would be to get a digital controller like this amzn.to/3c4kEM9 but these are bigger, 2 gang ones.
Awesome review. Would 4 of ic 860 in big 600 sq.ft open concept living room/kitchen be overkill? Or one pair will be enough?
There is no such thing as over kill!! Haha. If anything 4 will give you the better sound coverage
4 will sound way better. With more speakers you won’t have to crank them up as much with only 2 speakers. Go with 4.
Do you still recommend these? I'm thinking about either getting these speakers or martin logan vanquish ceiling speakers for my first home theater.
Yes absolutely, been very happy with them!
Looking to add in ceiling 7.1. I was set on Klipsch 5800, would you think they are of the same quality? I like the 5800 due to being able to adjust tweeter
I would say they are around the same quality. I think either one you would love them!
Hello, I am planning to try to do a home audio install and have really been enjoying all your content, thank you for making it! It looks like they have raised the price of the speakers a lot since your video unfortunately.
Yes, I have heard the material and the shipping costs have been increased like crazy. This is not something they wanted to do unfortunately, but their costs have changed because of covid. So they had to change the selling price for those speakers. It’s not just them, I'm noticing a lot of other brands have increased the price on their products too. It sucks.
What are your thoughts on Monoprice ceiling speakers? They currently have a sale, and some pairs are as low as $40.
@@TheKMZ1 Yes, Thanks Deep State!
I know you've used the Dayton audio speakers. Have you ever used the Monoprice Aria speakers? I'm trying to find anyone that's used them for a comparison vs the Dayton audio ones.
Unfortunately I've not used those
Are you still enjoying these speakers? I’m considering a few others - inwalltech & focal 100 series
Yes I really am still
it looks similar in spec's to the Monoprice Alpha angled driver speaker, but almost $200 more expensive. It looks like both Companies are buying form the same supplier
Monoprice buys from a supplier, soundavo does actually tool and engineer their own designs themselves.
@@TheKMZ1 thanks for you explanation. keep uploading interesting ht products
Do you have other speaker recommendations other than the Soundavo's?
Yeah I like Dayton audio as well from parts Express. They are good for the money but not as good as these I reviewed in the video, but I use them still depending on the job
I am running a Yamaha RX-V677 receiver would i still need to buy an amp to push the 8" speakers?
Your amp should be fine
The 8 inch speakers are over $300 for the pair? In the video you said $220 are you sill able to get them for that price?
Were you using my coupon code? The price has slightly increased due to covid and chip manufacturer shortages but with the discount code they are still very good
The product page for these speakers says they’re “8 ohm (6 ohm minimum)”. I was just going to place a pair in parallel for one zone on the ws66i - which would make the amp run at 4ohm. Is that going to be an issue? Will the speakers overheat and burnout? Never seen a “minimum” before.
No you should be fine to run it at 4 ohms into your amp. The most universally accepted definition simply states that the minimum impedance should be no lower than 80% of the rated impedance, For an 8 ohm speaker, this means 6.4 ohms minimum and for a 4 ohm speaker 3.2 ohms minimum.
Sorry im trying to hook up 4 of these speakers to a single zone on the ws66i. Can you please tell me exactly what to do? Will send a cup of coffee. In a bit of a rush to finish this project.
@@r5n5paula this video will help you tremendously! ruclips.net/video/dVjiZeCCnqA/видео.html
For those reading this in the future. Speakers change impedance with frequency . This is the 8 / 6 / 4 Ohm rating of a speaker. You won't hurt the speaker but if you turn it up too high you might hurt the amplifier / receiver depending upon if it has a protection circuit or not. Wiring like you are suggesting is not usually a good idea for the life of the amp.
Thanks just got 2 pairs $199 ea Black Friday
Very nice!!
Are you still recommending these even though the price has gone up dramatically?
I do still yes, I've really enjoyed mine and think they are still a great high end alternative to other pricey "name" brand ones!
Im just ordering based on this one video. Im a bit worried that this video is a year old and there's not really any other non-first party videos or articles about them.
Yes I'm still using them and I actually just ordered a new product from them as well that they showed at CEDIA 2022, their pendant speakers. Video to come soon. Brands like soundavo and even Dayton audio are cheaper because you aren't paying for a "name brand" like bose, jbl etc so naturally you don't see as much on them
Did you install these yet? Would you recommend them? I'm thinking about either getting these speakers or martin logan vanquish ceiling speakers for my first home theater.
Can you provide link to purchase the hood cover for the speaker’s thank you advance
This is for their 6inch speaker, but ONLY for the SD-6S-ALU speaker, they also have the 8 inch back box cover for the SD-8s-ALU but they do not have back box covers for this line of speakers which is the IC series. Unfortunately
@@TheKMZ1 thank you
I have tons of powder insulation in the attic and was hoping to find enclosures for both the 6 and 8 versions of these Soundavo speakers to protect them. Any ideas?
Unless you want to build a box, the next best thing is usually buying a shower cap with an elastic band, and you can slip the shower cap over the back of the speaker and it will prevent the insulation from actually touching the speaker. Cheap and easy!
@@TheKMZ1 thanks. Hoping you could quickly explain how the speaker terminals work. I can see the six separate zones but I’m having a bit of an issue figuring out how to connect the speaker wire. I know it’s just a visual thing but was hoping your description might help. I am used to typical push style or even spin type but this feels different than anything I’ve seen before
You are talking about the speaker terminals on these soundavo speakers? They are push down type with a hole in the side. So they are spring loaded, you push it down, stick your speaker wire into the hole on the side, and then let go and the pressure will pull back up and pinch the wire. If you are talking about another type of speaker let me know and i can describe! Thanks
@@TheKMZ1 sorry, I meant on the WS66I
@@VisionForwardTechConnect oh gotcha, yeah those are green phoenix connectors, also called euro block connectors. They are in kind of an L shape. On the top of the connector are flat head screws, there are 4 of them. As you loosen the screws, it lowers a little door. So your loosen it all the way, then stick your speaker wire in, and as you tighten the screw, the door goes back up and pinches the wire and keeps it in there. 14 guage wire is about the thickest it will accept and you have to twist it tight otherwise as you push it in, the strands can come undone and it comes out of the connector or can short with the speaker wire next to it. That is a complaint with these connectors, is that the speaker wire is close together with all the others in that connector. You don't have to strip back much insulation for these because you don't really want much or any bare wire hanging out. Let me know if you have any other questions! Also make sure you put them in the connector the right order, it goes plus, minus for one speaker and plus minus for the other speaker. The back of the amp has it screen printed which one should be what, but that may be hard for you to see. I can describe it if you need help on what should be what.
these speakers being 8ohm speakers that means you can only get 25W to each speaker? If so, that power seems a bit low don't you think?
Correct, the particular amplifier i'm using is 25w per speaker. I dont think it's low in my opinion. If we reference JL audios own publication jlaudio.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/217201737-Doubling-Power-vs-Doubling-Output and this is also written in many other places (so it's not a made up concept) but doubling power does not make it sound "twice as loud". So doubling power even to 50 watts per speaker would have subtle differences in the actual SPL levels heard by our ears. Yes it'd be a little louder but subtly. In my own experience with this amp that I'm using (since 2017) it can get more than enough loud. It can throw a party. Thanks for watching and for the comment!!
@@TheKMZ1 what if you compared a 25W powered speaker vs. a 125W powered speaker? How big of a difference do you think that would be? 🤔
Will these speakers work well the Sonos amp
Yep they will! No issues
what do you think of the Sonos in ceiling speakers?
I think sonos has a good quality product. My issue is just the cost personally. I think they are over priced for what you get. For example, they have a whole home audio solution, and each amplifer is only 1 zone. So in a 6 zone system having 6 amplifiers is VERY expensive and a pain in my opinion to house 6 amps. This is just 1 example, they have other wireless options and for those, I just would prefer to not have speakers sitting on book shelves in the open (that is why i like ceiling speakers). I have a friend who has the wireless speakers from sonos, and they sound very good. But again it just comes down to someones preference on cost and the look of them. Hope this helps!!
@@TheKMZ1 thanks for the response! I bought a house that already has in ceiling speakers wired to the basement utility room. I have three Sonos amps which is nice because their app is great and everything just works. I don’t have anything to benchmark the in ceiling speakers to. I need to listen to the Sonos ceiling speakers to determine whether they are worth the upgrade. They are cheap on Amazon right now. 499 a pair. If that’s my budget what’s the best I could get for that price?
@@rp1268 It's hard to say because I also have not bench marked the sonos in ceiling speakers either. But i have really enjoyed these soundavo speakers that i had in my video. They are about half the cost right now of sonos... you should get both pairs and compare them and let me know ;) I think like with every brand, sometimes you pay a certain price for the brand name. I think sonos is one of those products where a certain dollar amount is the status of their name.
I’m trying to redo my surround sound if I get the soundavo amp do I still need a receiver?? And what do you recommend as a center channel??
Do not confuse the soundavo WS66i amp with surround sound. They are 2 very different things, and if you want surround sound you will need that kind of an amp. The WS66i is a whole home audio amp and does not do any kind of movie surround loading. You get left and right channels that is all. So i think you probably want to stick with a surround amp, but you can integrate a surround sound amp as one of the Soundavo WS66i zones, using the pre-amp outputs
@@TheKMZ1 ok thank you for the info I don’t know much about this stuff.. so would I be ok to use the soundavo speakers for surround sound and what speaker can I use as a center channel??
Yeah you can use these speakers they will be great. You can also use this same speaker as a center channel. It is the amplifier that decides how to send audio to all of your channels, including that center channel. Unless you didn't want an in ceiling center channel? But otherwise this speaker also will be great
@@TheKMZ1 awesome sounds good then I will be buying these speakers and also getting you a coffee thanks for your help.. one last question if I go with a 7.1 surround sound how many 8” speakers should I get and do I still need a subwoofer..
ARE THESE BLUETOOTH?

Yes I'd absolutely buy again, and I've purchased other products from them as well. Really good company and good support + warranty.
@@TheKMZ1 thanks
The first set sounds better to me
New subscriber here. Great video and thanks for sharing... Two questions, what amp or av receiver do you recommend for these? I have my home pre-wired for ceiling speakers but not switches. I'm trying to incorporate whole home audio as well as surrounds for movies. Lastly, are these speakers moisture resistant? I am looking to install 2 in my bathroom.
@TMKZ1 I was looking at getting the Sonos amp be cause I like the ability to add more options over time. I know Sonos has in ceiling speakers through their partnership with Soundavo, but those are 2x the cost. I just don't know if I want to spend that much on speakers.
Sorry, just realized Sonos partnered with Sonance....however, I did order 2 pairs of Soundavo speakers based on your review. Looking forward to checking them out!
Any new coupon codes? The existing is no longer valid
TKMZ15 is not valid? Did you already buy with that email address from them, I think if so you have to use a different email address
I just ordered these. Klipsch CDT-3650-CII in-Ceiling Speaker (Pair).
Do you think I should cancel and order the ones you recommended?
Did you buy multiple pair, or just 1 pair? I would definitely give the soundavo a try, especially for the price. I've never used that specific klipsch speaker before, but looking at the specs, the soundavo specs do outperform it on paper. And the construction of the speaker, the soundavo has a better construction appearance. Am I saying the klipsch is bad? No absolutely not, but, I think these hidden companies like soundavo are doing a fantastic job engineering higher quality (or the same quality) products, but since they don't have a famous brand name, many people would normally over look them
@@TheKMZ1 i order 8 pair for my whole house. But I’m wondering if I should return them and order the Soundavo speakers...
@@ScHoNy02 yeah, at 8 pairs that's probably a good amount of $ difference. It's up to you, but I love the way these soundavo's sound and how they constructed them.

Damn these are 400 a pair now
Monoprice is selling ceiling speakers with carbon fiber woofers.
Yeah I've had some friends use them. Each material in a speaker gives a different sound. I'm not saying the carbon fiber ones are bad at all
Do they make a angled version
I don't believe so
Look into the Monoprice Alpha 8” 2 way with 15degree angled drivers! They’re $137 a pair, handle 80watts RMS 160watts peak, 89db sensitivity and have a range of 45Hz-20kHz. Monoprice doesn’t get a lot of love in the AV world, even I was skeptical. The are fantastic in my 4 height Atmos setup! Better than the Soundavo in that it still has a carbon woofer with rubber surround, handle more power and have the exact same tweeter for less money.
I don't think you compared them fairly, the existing speakers seem to be good quality. I think what most people wanted to hear was how they compare to the Dayton audio. Sorry about the negative comment, I love your channel
I will have to buy the 6.5 inch then, the reason I compared them to these is because I don't have any Dayton 8 inch speakers. And I bought the 8 inch because in my basement I wasnt happy with the sound, and I'm contemplating doing a 5.1 surround setup, and these are definitely the high quality I'm looking for and in the budget! Thanks for watching and I do appreciate the comment!
$349.99 a pair now. I don't think they are worth it at that price. I would rather get a name brand.
those look and sound the same as the ones from OSD audio
How does the price compare? Do you have a link? Thanks!
@@TheKMZ1 these are amazing for the price.... www.outdoorspeakerdepot.com/speakers/ceiling/angled/175w-8-inch-trimless-in-ceiling-lcr-speaker-single-ace870.html
@@scottalexander8856 those look nice, never used OSD, but with the 15% coupon I have, the soundavo speakers come out $30 cheaper still (in case someone was comparing that) but not bad! I can't speak to how that company comes up with products, but I can speak to the soundavo speakers, these were engineered and have a 1 of a kind tooling design that they came up with. I enjoy when companies still engineer products instead of copying some china speakers. Not that OSD is doing that..I have no clue. But engineering electronics is an art!!
Well crap. These are $350 a pair instead of $220 a pair now >.
You can still get 15% off of that price but yes they did increase unfortunately. However, I'm actually making a new video right now. Hopefully have it up in less than 1 week. They have a new model which is still really good, it's a little cheaper. The SD-6S-ALU and the SD-8S-ALU you should be able to use my code for 15% off that as well. TKMZ15 let me know if it doesnt work! Subscribe and video coming soon!
