We’re Stereo Exchange, located in New York City. We've been in business since the 1970s and are a major high-end dealer. We have all the current top brands on display in our huge showroom. Let’s start at the Beginning: Speakercraft is a very high-end brand of
in-wall speakers, and they are sold by the very best dealers in the US. Their products are made with high quality
parts and are extremely good value. They have several series of speakers, but
the AIM line is quite special. Behind the paintable, mesh grill lies a
speaker of very high quality with a trick up its sleeve. You can aim the speaker! It pivots
right-to-left. If you were to place your in-wall
speakers ideally, you would usually want to measure out your wall, and then
divide it up into three equal parts, with two dividing lines. The in-wall
speakers should usually go JUST outside those two lines. In reality, though, we usually put
speakers further apart, and often near the far corners. This creates FOUR problems… ---The speakers may now be so far apart
that you no “center image”, meaning that there is a right and a left sound, not
a homogeneous sound spread across the wall. ---If the speakers are in a corner, you
might get too much bass from them due to reinforcement. Bass that hits the side
walls gets reflected back into the room and, if bad enough, becomes “boomy”. ---If the speaker or speakers are near a
window on the side walls, the glass will reflect the highs and the speaker can
sound very “bright” and harsh. ---If the side walls have drapes on them,
then it absorbs the highs. In many cases, you run into a combination
of these problems, and they are different for the left and right speaker,
creating an imbalance, so you might hear too much bass from one speaker and too
much treble from the other. This speaker helps solve all these issues. The speaker pivots behind the grill
somewhat from side-to-side, allowing you to bring the focus point inward, and
prevent excess reflections off the side walls. Additionally, there are switches on the
front of the speaker, behind the grill, to boost or cut the highs and lows to
compensate for the above-talked-about problems. All this would mean little if the
speakers did not sound good, though! This is the model MT-ONE, the most affordable speaker in the series and a superior value at its normal retail price of $325.00 for the pair. Speakercraft really through ALL their
technology into these. The speaker connectors are large and
solid, and make a great connection with your wires. They are gold plated. They
insure your speakers receive all the power you amp sends to them. The light weight of the speaker cones/domes makes them very sensitive, meaning the speakers can run off of as little as 5 Watts of power. The sensitivity is 92dB, which is quite high. They can play loud with even fairly low power amplifiers and receivers. They are also 8 Ohms, so any good amp
can drive them easily. Many in-wall speakers are 4-Ohms, which many amplifier’s
cannot drive well (look at the back of your receiver and you will see). These speakers have a frequency response
of 40-20,000Hz +/-3dB, which is astoundingly good. They can be used with amplifiers of up to
100 Watts per channel. They were in our warehouse, factory
sealed. I did open the box to take a few photos,
but the speakers remain sealed in plastic. They have built-in mounting
hardware…nothing else is needed. Their overall size is 14 ½ x 9 7/8
inches. You will want to make your cutout about
12 ¾ x 8 1/8 inches. A template is included to make this easy. Since these have been in the warehouse for
a wile, we want to move them out with a low Reserve to insure a quick sale. We are setting the RESERVE at only $88.00 for the pair. That makes them a SUPER-BARGAIN at even WELL over the reserve. Whoever get these is going to be a very
happy camper! I am not sure if Speakercraft speakers
sold online qualify for the factory warranty, but we guarantee they will not be
DOA. Please give them a good home. Things to know… This item is a final sale, with no
refunds, or exchanges. We guarantee they will not be DOA. We will accept PAYPAL ONLY for this
auction. We will ONLY ship to the US or Canada. Items sold to / shipped to within New
York State, or picked up at the store, will be charged sales tax. The above words are the property of KZ
