We had some nice B & W in-walls years ago that were fairly expensive at the time and to this day sound great. We actually pulled them out of the walls when we sold the house and now are on the inside walls of an alcove so they're now very near-field HP like speakers.View attachment 142823View attachment 142824
Linkwitz wrote about Doppler shifts causing distortion when the (in-wall) speaker resonates with the wall.

Adding a beefy piece of iron behind the speaker surely would decrease the movement as per Newtons third law.
Haven’t watched the whole thing, but so far a good summary of SBIR and solutions.
Onwalls and inwalls is a matter of competently executed installations given their advantages (and limitations), rather than that of placement as is the case of generic floorstanders.
Not so sure about soundbars slapped on the walls though.
I've been thinking of installing some of there in walls I'm the ceiling actually they'd do a nice job I think of keeping up with my RBH for a very reasonable price at least I'd hopeSeems like a really good LRC speaker. Monoprice doesn't seem to have anything in the Monolith line for surround or height in-ceiling speakers as far as i can tell.
Yeah that's what I'm hoping that's why I really appreciate Amirs efforts to measure speakers like these that type of review is super helpfulI'm not sure whether the dispersion really meets the dolby spec of wide and even in all the directions but perhaps if you position them carefully you can keep the seating in the sweet spot?
Interesting as you are going a similar route I'd like to go when building my theater.
I would go with option #1 and just use some sort of gasket.
How come you need to remove part of the MDF? It has been my understanding the dog legs work on a wall 1 inch thick?
That would be the preferred way if your wanting to turn it into a regular speaker. Not sure how you are putting these in the columns but on of the benefits of in walls in a baffle is no edge defraction. My friends setup utilized baffle walls with box built into the baffle panels. You could do something like that and still adjust height, angle, etc. Amir talks about the baffle affect either in this thread or another in wall thread.if don’t use the metal frame and dog logs, then to mount the speaker into the front enclosure baffle wall I’m assuming one would router out a inverse profile to glue the existing speaker into.
Reasons to not use the dogs are 1. Really hard to hit spec’s 17cu liter if keep the metal frame 2. Leakage between the metal frame and enclosure and 3. Leakage between the existing speaker and metal frame
The picture is showing a minus sign for me - any chance you could re-post very interested in your egg crate foam idea. Thanks!Picked up 3 of these in the recent sale based on these updated measurements. Got them installed today on my front wall. AT screen going up as soon as I can clear a space to swap the material in my frame. Subjectively, they sound great! I've only listened to them in stereo so far but the imaging is excellent! Used a mattress topper I grabbed at Target for some absorption of high frequency reflections between the speakers and screen.
