On-wall speaker

[laidick]

Does anyone have comment/recommendation on any on-wall speakers?

Background of this question:
I got Elac Vela speaker as front three (LCR), and I like the sound. Now I want to replace my surround/rear/ceiling speakers (total 8) with Elac series.(7.1.4 system) They have to be on-wall since my room is not big and no space for stand.

Since Vela series are using JET5 tweeter, I am struggling if the Elac WS 1645 would be best match. Or, I know Debut series has good measurement , designed by Andrew Jones, if the Elac Debut2.0 OW4.2 would be better. I tried but couldn't find any speaker measurement for them.

Price wise, Debut is $229(US per pair) and WS1645 is £599(GBP per each). Almost 6 times more expensive.

Thanks.

I have a similar question for a 2.1 system. Large rooms. All the well-testing passive speakers seem to be too big. The hunt continues!

I wonder if in-wall > on wall. I’m trying to research for my surrounds too. Not many measurements out there, but this site has some favorable opinions on the Revel in-wall:

I was set on the S-16, but might look into an in-wall. I am also curious if/how the kippel could measure an in/on wall.
