Cabassé makes some great looking gear, but they understand that not everyone wants a room full of loudspeakers. The new integration series speakers from the company are designed for those rooms where subtlety is key.
MartinLogan has a reputation for making great speakers with a truly unique aesthetic. Their speakers are the type that absolutely must be seen. That is, unless they're the type that absolutely mustn't.
When you're shopping for in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, you're looking for a certain aesthetic. You want a clean look, and a sound system that's not going to take up space or intrude on your room. That's why SpeakerCraft has introduced new flangeless speakers.
In-wall speakers range in looks from the entirely visible to the nearly invisible, but the LW1218 from Live-Wall can be made absolutely undetectable. Once it's properly installed, you'll only know it's there by listening.
In-ceiling and in-wall speakers give you great sound with a minimum of aesthetic interruption. They're subtle, and often unnoticeable. But they leave something to be desired from an audio perspective.
