![]() ![]() The Bostons looked good (but are GIGANTIC in cut out size). A lot of inceilings tend to be too white, or too almond. ![]() The BG's blended into the ceilings really well too. Some of the other brands were OK, but for an upper-tier speaker for distributed audio I think you would be hard pressed to find better in a 6 1/2" or even 8" (depending on ceiling hieght) speaker. The Bg PD-6C litterally sound like someone put a very high quality bookshelf speaker in the ceiling. The source was just a plain entry level Pioneer two channel receiver and Pioneer CD player. We listened to Clapton, Cold Play, Garth Brooks (live album), Sheryl Crow, a classical mix, a techno mix, and just for kicks even some rap. You have to listen to the clarity of these to belive it. With the other brands I only had the 6 1/2" models and the BG killed those too. The Bass out of the BG 6" trumped that of the 8" PSB, Parasound, Boston, and Sonance by a country mile. Brands: TruAudio, Parasound, PSB, BG, Sonance, Boston, Dayton Loud Speakers, Phase-Tech, Proficient, NuVo, RBH. We used a wide range of brands and price points varried accross the board from $150 per pair to $1500 per pair MSRP and the BG's performed the best and it wasn't even close. We tried these speakers in a vaulted ceiling, in a tight attic space, and in an open attic space. And I say that regardless of price point and without location issues. I can tell you that as far as architectural products go, the BG PD-6C ($600 per pair) is, without doubt, the best in-ceiling speaker for distributed audio I have ever listened to as is their in-wall counter part. I did this not because I'm unhappy with BG or any other brand but because we're dedicated towards continuous improvement and I like to bring in different brands to compare. I recently loaded up the truck and did an in-ceiling shoot out with several different brands is some new construction homes (as well as my own home) that were near being completed. I'm a BG dealer in SW Ohio and can vouch for several products in the BG line. ![]()
