Contestant number one is the JBL SP8II.
And now we will have a look at our second product, the Acoustic Audio R191. Many of our speaker reviews so far have only been either individual speakers or pairs. But if you're looking for a home cinema set up, you might be a little more interested in this set of 5.
These in-wall speakers feature 2-way class designs, with a recommended power of between 20 and 200 watts each. They combine a 5.25" woofer with a 12mm soft dome tweeter and low impedance crossover circuitry to provide a great full-range sound output. Hooked together, they give real depth and impressive volumes with crisp clarity.
