On-wall speakers

[Diapason]

Has anyone heard any remotely good on-wall speakers that could be used to fill a reasonably big, reflective space with decentish sound? Do such things exist?

Don't System Audio have some nice small book shelf speakers? I am sure Cloneys might stock them. Seem to remember them at a show awhile back and a few people where raving about them.

I'm not even sure normal bookshelf speakers will get past the veto here. I'm actually not sure anything will work, but I want to check the options.

There are quite a few in-wall speakers in the US in particular?

Hmmm, in wall sounds interesting but probably too invasive. I don't mind chasing a few cables, but I'm not sure about in wall. Anyone tried the b&w things that are about plasma depth. They used to have a pair beside the tv in cloney but I don't know if I ever heard them with music...

Are they the FPM4 or something like that. This is for surround sound or music? I think they are bit light for just music now that is only from reading opinions online. The guy I bought the PV1 off had some of them also for sale at that time.

What about magnepans or similiar electrostatic speakers?

[Diapason]

That's what I suspected alright, Tony.

Electrostatics would be great sonically, but I think they generally need a lot of space behind them. In any case, the main issue here is getting the speakers out of reach of little hands, so floorstanders are out. Or so I'm told!

Good find, Ivor. Better figure out what Hazel is really picturing!
