00:00:00 - 00:25:00

The HiFi In-Wall Speaker Shootout reviews and compares seven different in-wall speakers based on their specifications, price, and sound quality. The BMW and Focal 1000 IW are found to be the best overall, while the Rebel W893 is the best value. The expensive, heritage-named speakers didn't perform as well as the cheaper, less-heritage-named speakers.

• 00:00:00 In-wall speakers are reviewed and compared based on their specifications, price, and sound quality. Seven different in-wall speakers are evaluated and their sound quality is compared.
• 00:05:00 The HiFi In-Wall Speaker Shootout compares two speakers, the BMW and the Focal 1000 IW. The BMW had a high q resonance in the lower frequencies which made it sound better, but it had a suck out region around two to four kilohertz. The Focal 1000 IW had a narrower suck out and improved distortion and compression.
• 00:10:00 The kef ci 3160 rl in-wall speaker was found to have poor bass and high frequency performance. The mid-range sounded recessed, and the distortion at 96 dB was high. The aesthetics were good, but the performance was not recommendable.
• 00:15:00 The speaker shootout tested three different in-wall speakers: the Rebel W893, the Miller IW 150, and the Creasel IW 150. The Rebel W893 had the lowest average sensitivity of the three, with an 88.2 db sensitivity. The mid bass was boosted up in the Rebel W893, while the other two speakers did not have a boost on the low frequency. The Creasel IW 150 had the most distortion of the three, with increased compression in the higher frequency area.
• 00:20:00 The HiFi In-Wall Speaker Shootout tests five different in-wall speakers, and the Revel W553L is the smallest and cheapest of the bunch. While the mid-range sounds thin at times, the overall performance is good for the price. The bass is adjustable, and the speaker is relatively neutral overall. However, the tweeter level is raised at high volumes, and the speaker has some compression issues at lower frequencies.
• 00:25:00 The HelloFi in-wall speaker shootout results will floor you! The JBL SCL6 and the KEF 3160 are the two best in this shootout, but the Martins Logan and Focal are also good buys. The expensive, heritage-named speakers didn't perform as well as the cheaper, less-heritage-named speakers.
