Super 3 for in-wall speakers?
« on: 10 Sep 2007, 11:14 pm »
I'm looking for a way to get good sounding "in-wall" speakers for a 50" plasma TV. I was wondering if I could embed Super 3's into the walls with a sub, with the speakers placed at TV height. How would they do for imaging, soundstage and frequency response? At 7.5" deep, the Super 3 s would stick out approximately flush with with front of the TV. Also, with no magnetic shield, how far would they need to be paced from TV? Anyone have any thoughts or other ideas for good sounding in-wall spkrs?

P.S. Sorry to hear about Louis' parents. And thank you Vinnie for keeping this Circle going in his absence.

Super 3s size = 15” H x 12”W x 7.5”D -- front ported.

Hi Alwayswantmore,

I think they would sound terrific as in wall speakers. They would image and soundstage better than multiway speakers and they are not using the wall as enclosers. I would double check with someone who knows TVs, but I think that the LCDs and plasmas are OK with non shielded drivers. I would make sure though.

Thanks again,
Louis
