JBL-Leviton architectural speakers?

[Robert R]

JBL sells their Arena in walls under the Leviton brand for a bit less than Arena.

I'm considering these for HT front channels and the corresponding 6.5 for ceiling and surrounds.

Thoughts?

No one really reviews in-walls unfortunately, so you'd be flying blind. I'd ask Amirm if he's willing/able to run in-walls through the Klippel, and ship him a single unit for measure. Buy it from somewhere with a 30+ day return policy in case it's trash, you'll only be out shipping costs.

I don't think a bare speaker without a enclosure is going to fare well in a Klippel test.

Revel provides spins of theirs, but no idea what they use or how they do it.

Introducing the optional baffle:

4900 Euro, plus needs Baffle Frame and Calibration Helper.

Amir could probably make one in his well equipped workshop but the calibration helper may be in the too hard basket.
