After I bought a PS3, primarily to serve as a Bluray player, I decided it was time to put rear speakers on my home theater system. I last tried this at least five years ago with several pairs of speakers priced around $100 each. None of them could keep up with the old premium Fosgate Audionics speakers I have on my front three channels, so I gave up.

This time I asked a friend who’s an A/V fanatic what to get and without hesitation he sent me to Aperion Audio, where I ordered two 6-IW in-wall speakers for $150 each. My initial impression was that they are actually superior to my Fosgate speakers. Having put them through my Pioneer receiver’s autocalibration they are a seamless part of my surround sound system.
