Micca M-6C 6.5 Inch 2-Way In-Ceiling In-Wall Speaker with Pivoting 1" Silk Dome Tweeter (Each, White)

I ordered two of these just to see since they are the same cutout dimension as KEF's ceiling speakers which I was originally going to get. I listened to the KEF's at a distributor and planned on getting the Q-series up front (bookshelves and center- not in-wall) and the KEF Q-series ceilings for side and rear surround duty in a 7.1 system, though $250-$300 per ceiling speaker just seemed high so I started looking around (Amazon, monoprice). I tried 2 of these out and am very pleased with the result. I had looked for Micca's reference series, but couldn't find them. I think the best thing about this little guy is the silk dome tweeter. It has a nice crispness to it after running my receiver's (Pioneer's 1120-K) room EQ program. The program did not greatly bump up or down the levels in the EQ band. They are clear and the installation was very easy (banana clips a plus). The mid-bass seems neutral too but really it is up to the sound mixer to fill these with sound. It seems just right and does the job for 1/10th the price as the more expensive models. I can't do a real comparison to other more expensive speakers but they seem very comparable. A pink noise test seemed pretty uniform and comparable to the Andrew Jones BS22's bookshelves and center I have as it went around the room. These might be a real good match together for a budget system. I do have these in backerboxes mind you that I installed prior to drywall and are sealed and stuffed with batting. There is not too much info coming from the surrounds channels normally but they can get loud enough in movies well (Saving Private Ryan, Gravity (amazing surround effects). It adds great ambiance to movies. You can aim the tweeter a little bit, but I couldn't really tell too much difference when pointed down or at the main listening position. I have a pretty reflective great room and 9 foot ceilings. Don't rely on these for bass, that is what a subwoofer is for. Ceilings have their inherent limitations, but I think they did just fine for my tastes that I ordered 2 more for those back surrounds. They are keepers

Was a bit speculative before buying from this relatively unknown brand in India but I was surprised to realize that these speakers were high end and fabtastic upon purchasing!! They don't sound cheap or shrill or thin. Perhaps the tonal quality is so balanced and clean that they match my JBL Professional Active Speakers!! The build, finish, packaging and everything is spot on. Great value for money. The tweeters are so swett and clean, not ear fatiguing. The mods and forward sounding and the bass is more than adequate depending on the box type you choose for the ceiling mounting. Go for it!!

Easy to install and sounds great, easily blends in with my existing 5.1 system

Good in wall/ceiling speaker for the money. If you are an audiophile, are willing to spend more, or using in a home theater application, then step up to something more, but my wife and I are happy with how these sound in our kitchen cieling. I'm running them off of an older Alexa Dot connected to a Wiim amp. The amp is turned almost all the way up (power amp) and we control the volume using the dot. The tweeters do articulate some so you can direct the highs a few degrees. I took measurements and was impressed with the linearity of the output. While there is some bass it rolls off pretty quick below 70 hz. If you want a lot of punch or low end you will need to add a subwoofer or look elsewhere. The grills are paintable, but the we liked the white best in our painted ceiling as it matches the can lite trim. The 5 star rating is due to the value/quality for money.

I use these speakers as height channels for my 5.2.1 setup through an old Denon 1500h and Polk S series speakers. These speakers replace the considerably more expensive Polk owm 3s being used previously along with a wall mount Cheaper price and aesthetics aside, the focused sound that they are able to provide beats the OWM 3 hands down My frame of reference is the race scene from Ready Player One (4K DVD). Audio from these speakers is well positioned and directionality is not lost when seated around the main listening position used for initial calibration One caveat to this review: they work well for my purpose, I.e. atmos speakers, which by definition come in very infrequently. If your intention is to use them in a stereo setup, please look at other reviews first as well. The above being said, I don’t think you can do much better than these for Atmos. You’d be getting very marginal gains (if any) for 2-3x the price
