> 3 dayThe speakers come with the template needed for the perfect size hole and easy layout for your room. The grills are very low profile, attach via magnets, and the grill mesh is very fine with a high-end look. The speakers went in easily and secured to the wall firmly. I used these for my fronts in a 5.1.2 system, matched with the Polk 255crt (center), 65rt (rears), 70rt (ceiling presence) for an ATMOS system. After calibrating my levels I am blown away with the sound! These produce phenomenal clarity in both instruments and voice. The transition from one speaker to the next is perfect, being timbre matched. I couldn’t be happier with the results and I highly recommend these for anyone looking at installing a clean in-wall system.

> 3 dayAwesome speakers. Sound amazing. Perfect for my home theater. Tweeters rotate so you can aim them directly at you. These are fairly large in-wall speakers, so the only concern is 10 years down the road if I decide to upgrade my system Ill have to find even larger speakers to fill the hole.

08-06-2025Great sounding speakers. Easy to install, and love the magnetic grills. I have them installed with a 255C-RT in the cetner and 65RTs in the rear, along with a Velodyne 10 sub. The system sounds great.

> 3 dayI bought these to install in the ceiling of my sitting room. I was redoing the room so I called technical support to get volume for a box to install them into between joists. They were very helpful and emailed me detailed instructions on how to build the boxes. Installation was a snap. The grills are very slim and blend into ceiling nicely. The speakers, crossovers and overall assembly is first quality. They sound great, I put a small powered subwoofer into the mix. Highly reccommended.

> 3 daySpent probably too many hours researching speakers for the new home theater setup, but knew I wanted in-wall / in-ceiling speakers. Used the 265s for front (left, right & center) channels and the sound is amazing. Not tinny at all as others have said and produce decent bass a subwoofer. Extremely happy with the sound and product quality and the included templates make it impossible to not cut the openings correctly. Vanishing Series is a great name because you hardly notice they are even there. I think that most people that were not happy with the sound didnt put any baffling or boxes behind them to contain the sound and keep it from leaking into the wall cavity. These speakers are deep and will fill a standard 2x4 depth wall, so plan accordingly and carefully and you wont be disappointed
