Have these installed in a 5.2 system and they are perfect. Sound great compared to other more expensive options!

Sounds as good as the big guns for a fraction of the price. Indistinguishable except when compared side by side with others.

Used them as surrounds for my 5.1 AVR system driven by my Denon S640-h. Even though they are classified as ceiling speakers, I mounted in a standard 2x4 stud wall. One fitted perfectly but the other had a misplaced stud that need trimming. See pic. 👍Sound quality is acceptable and they are very sensitive, so I had to balance them with a test video in the AVR. Haven’t tried them as fronts to fully appreciate sound quality but I wouldn’t foresee any issues. Build quality is top notch and they are quite heavy.Recommended.

Good sound quality. Easy to install. Easy to paint the cover.

I recently installed these in-ceiling speakers, and I couldn't be happier with their performance, especially considering the price. The sound quality is simply phenomenal, delivering rich, crisp audio that immerses you in your favorite music and movies. The easy installation process and sleek, unobtrusive design make them a fantastic addition to any room, and I highly recommend these speakers to anyone seeking excellent sound on a budget.

I’m using four of these speakers for my Dolby Atmos height speakers. The price was right and they sound great.

Installed these as height speakers for my Martin Logan. I purchased them as they appeared to be a close match for my other Martin Logan speakers (Motion 15s & Motion 8) and my electrostatics (Classic ESL 9) the Motions have a folded ribbon tweeter as does the Amber.

I bought 8 of these 6.5" in ceiling with the ribbon tweater for my surround sound in my high end basement theater system. I installed them in a drop ceiling. There is a pathetic sound from these things for bass even at low levels. Its like a flutter from the woofers. Even with the bass at -12 its still anoying and embarrassing. I even returned a 800.00 onkyo receiver because I thought the bass adjustment was malfunctioning. So then I called monoprice customer service technical support. What a joke. They tell me that these speakers were not meant for home theater sound and could not explain what to do to fix the isuue. My plan was to use the in ceiling speakers for the highs and a little midrange and a high end floor mounted subwoofer for the bass. Thats why I would just turn the bass all the way down and have the sub do the bass. Not going to happen with these. They must some how use that board on the back of these speakers to ramp up the bass even at a negative bass level.But anyway absolutely no resolve from mono price. Basically TO BAD SO SAD 🤷♂️

Great quality and perfect for my atmos application. Sound better without the metal housing that is sold separately. High frequencies are slightly localised due to the ribbon tweeter, but are crisp and clear.Installation is made easier through simple deaign elements.Come alive with a power amplifier if you’re using then for home theatre.

I’m using these for in-ceiling atmos speakers. For this price I challenge you to find another speaker with ribbon style tweeter.My front sound stage consists of Martinlogan ESL’s and the ESL-C center which has a ribbon tweeter. I wanted my surround speakers to match their sound signature and these are perfect. If I was using them as my mains, I think the Amber series would sound a little bright but as surrounds, and especially overheads, they are perfect.
