Sound of solid gold [Posted on 2007-10-23]
I put the Phoenix Gold speakers into a section of my house that I am remodeling. I am very happy with the sound quality and overall performance. I am not an audio file but appreciate their performance. Two Thumbs Up!!

I just installed these, powerful sound. Better than I expected. The template was accurate and you can paint them to match the wall. I don't recommend a brush or roller for the screen portion though. I would definitely buy these again. Lots of sound for the dollar. Aimable tweeters were a plus as well.

So here's a quick review on the speakers:
Pro's:
- Speakers mount almost flush with the ceiling so you really don't notice them very much
- They have aimable tweeters so you can point them towards where you normally sit (don't even consider any ceiling mounted speakers that don't have aimable tweeters)
- The white color on the face isn't a stark white so they blend in well with most white ceilings
- Speaker wire connectors are spring loaded so inserting the wires while crawling around in the ceiling is very easy
- The locking mechanism for holding the speakers in the ceiling works well, and means it doesn't require someone in the ceiling holding the speaker while you mount it.
Con's
- 8 inch speakers are actually much larger than you would think. I actually returned these and got the 6.5 inch size, which fit the size of my livingroom much better
- removing the grill for the installation is a bit of a pain until you figure out the trick. i.e. Gently flex the outer plastic edge of the speaker until the grill starts to pop out, then pull it the rest of the way off.
Conclusion: The sound from these speakers is excellent and they're a great way to get rid of the clutter of floor speakers. Remember though that most of your sound in a surround sound system comes from the center channel, so buy a good center channel to go along with these and you can't go wrong.

very pleased with the quality, audio range, installation ease, connections.
The 9 5/16" hole size stipulated in the instructions is a little small, but with a little more shaving it was fine--better to start too small than too big!
audio is crisp and very clean. I doubt that spending twice as much would provide any better audio quality.
Great sound, nice bang for your buck. [Posted on 2008-09-21]
I wasn't expecting such a great sound from these speakers based on the price, but my expectations were exceeded. Don't get me wrong--audiophiles will not consider these for their listening rooms, but as a for the rest of us the sound is great and the price is right. The directional tweeters make more of a difference than I thought they would.
