Review 1 for Yamaha 8" 3-Way In-Ceiling Speakers (Pair)
Great speakers
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Sound, ease of installation
What's not so great: nothing!
I just installed the first pair of two pair I purchased and am very satisfied with them. They are easy to install, come with great instructions, and sound great once they are installed. I was worried about possibly needing to install a subwoofer too but I don't think that will be necessary.
Tips: use a Roto-zip to cut out the drywall and stuff insulation into the hole prior to monting the speakers
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price is not as much as others but still great sound
What's not so great: nothing
Bought these speakers for my living room along with the 6 1/2 for my master and I was very impressed with the sound that they produce. I have had/installed a lot of different kind of in-ceiling speakers and these by far are the best to install in a room that doesn't have a subwoofer. They produce a good quality bass sound but not enough to rattle the walls. If you want that, you would deffinitly need to add a sub to the room. But for what I use them for which is just music, they are perfect. For the smaller rooms, I would recommed the 6 1/2 which are just as good but just a little less bass.

Awesome Home Theater Speakers
Customer Rating

What's great about it: Sound and ease of installation
What's not so great: Nothing so far.
I recently mounted these speakers in game / theater room. We wanted speakers that were ceiling mounted so they were out of the way and not noticable. These speakers were super easy to install (other than running wires which has nothing to do with the speakers themselves). Each pair came with a template for cutting the hole, had pop out legs that held them in place while you finished mounting them, and spring loaded speaker wire connectors that made connections fast and easily accomodated 14 gauge speaker wire (or banana clips). Once installed they fit flush and are virtually invisible with no annoying emblems or tags on the covers. The sound from these speakers is fantastic. You really get a theater like surround sound experience with four of these in the ceiling.

What's great about it: Great sound for a very reasonable price.
I easily installed these speakers along with a yamaha receiver. My brother has Klipsch speakers and we both can not tell a difference between the two systems and the Yamaha speakers are much less.

What's not so great: No lows for these speakers
I was looking for a pair of ceiling speakers for our new kitchen addition to be used with a SONOS system. The powered SONOS cube has 55 watts / per channel and it is more than enough power to make these speakers sound good.
I was afraid that if I only went with a 5 1/4 or 6 1/2 inch woofer, I'd be disappointed with the fullness and bass output. So I knew I had to buy a pair of 8 inch woofers to satisfy my high standard for sound quality. I was also slightly afraid that for under $200, these speakers wouldn't sound as good as some higher priced models.
I am happy to report that these speakers ROCK!! They have good full sound and good bass output (for 8 inch speakers). They sound awesome and I have no complaints at all. The sound they produce is equal to, if not better, than many more expensive models.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Had them installed yesterday by Geek Squad. They sound better then I thought and at 108.99 a pair you can't go wrong!
What's not so great: none so far
Purchased these speakers along with the Klipsch Icon WC-24 center channel and Definitive Technologies Pro Sub 1000 10" sub. They are mated to a Harman Kardon receiver and everything sounds STUNNING! You can adjust the two tweeters on these yamaha speakers and aim the sound to the middle of the room or wherever you want. Good instructions come with it. I did not install these myself.

Great speakers. I was just WoW when turned on after a simple install. Sound quality is natural and clear. This is not for a Boom system.... this is quality not quantity. Good luck.

What's great about it: Great for music, sports, games, etc. Excellent!
What's not so great: May lack a little on the low end, depending on what you want.
For the money, you can't beat these speakers. A good friend of mine who works for BB recommended them hands down. He was 100% right! The speakers have a sound quality that rival equipment twice their price. My wife loves the fact that they're hidden away and all my neighbors are jealous of the sound quality I get out of these babies (paired up with a Yamaha receiver)!
The paintable covers are great, so you can put them in-wall if you have access. In-wall or in-ceiling, you really can't go wrong with these.
