Love these speakers and the design. Super easy to mount, sound great and minimalistic design to blend in with a white ceiling. Someone in another review I had previously read said they sound similar to a 2nd gen Sonos Play 5. I’d say that’s fairly accurate. They will distort much easier than the average Sonos speaker. I have about every Sonos speaker made and these distort much easier than any of them. I limited the volume to 85% to avoid blowing them. I’d play around with that before you go blasting them at 90% volume. I paired them with a sub and put them in my ceiling in my basement above my bar and connected them to my TV. The phantom center channel is surprisingly pretty darn good. I probably wouldn’t use it like that in my living room but in my bar area it is perfect. Highly recommend these. \n\nI also have a 2nd pair running in my living room as surround speakers paired with a 3rd gen Sonos sub and the new Sonos Arc. Pretty awesome setup and they make great rear speakers and you can’t even see them. Love them. They are pretty expensive but if the look is what you’re going for with solid quality they won’t disappoint.
