Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wanted to get rid of my ancient Infinity surround speakers hanging out of the middle of my living room ceiling.The whole thinking about surround has also changed over the past decade and rear speakers are no longer looked at as low-powered speakers used to just round out the sound but rather as important components in faithfully reproducing the dedicated signals sent via today's 5.1/7.1 systems.In other words, 3-inch drivers with a peak of 75W was no longer acceptable.
I looked at a wide range of flush-mount speakers from the higher end on the money spectrum as far as my budget (Energy, Klipsch) to the low (AudioSource, Pyle) and everything in between.I had almost settled on some Polks when I saw a listing for these 6.5 inch Muros and did some research on them.The range on these BICs was better on the low end (down to 40Hz and opposed to 55Hz) and the power was slightly higher (125W to 100W).I've had a pair of bookshelf speakers from BIC for a long time that are still going strong so I decided to give these a shot;it was really a no-lose situation getting a $300 pair of speakers for such a low price.Also, the Florida sun beats down on our roof in the summer and the attic temperatures get amazingly hot to I figured going with a weather-resistant speaker wouldn't be a bad thing, either.
Very happy with these.I noticed as soon as they were delivered that they had a nice weight to them due to the substantial hardware and magnets.The posts are gold-plated and the cones are a tough polygraphite.Installing them couldn't have been easier - push one or two of the screws from behind to release the grill, cut a hole in the ceiling using the included template, attach the speaker wire, place the speaker into the hole and simply tighten the 4 screws.Done.Took all of 20 minutes.Another nice touch was the inclusion of two sets of grills - one paintable metal pair and another pair that is covered with white fabric.I went with the fabric but the metal looks fine as well.
I ran full stereo through them for a few days to break them in with some CDs and they really do sound wonderful.I didn't expect such a rich sound from 6.5s but, paired with a subwoofer, they are proving quite capable.Not audiophile by any means, but I'd say they sound just as good as the $400 Polks I tested.I wouldn't hesitate to use these outside on the deck or in the ceiling if wiring a different room in the house.As far as surround sound with DVDs, they reveal so much more than the small Infinity pair they replaced - much fuller spectrum, and the highs are clean with the tweeters aimed toward the couches in front of them.
For $300/pair, these are very good speakers - every bit as good as the Polks, in my opinion and actually better going purely off the specs.But for $77/pair?!?You'd be crazy not to grab these.You'll be very satisfied.You could spend more, I guess, but I don't know why?!?
