Let's talk about flat panel speakers

@Flaculence the only picture frame speaker I’ve seen is Ikea’s rebranded Sonos Symfonisk…what else is out there?

@joshua_g I’m not familiar with what is meant by line array, but I’m gong to guess it’s something like a soundbar but with the idea of stereo arrangement rather than the simulated SS they usually are trying to do?

I was thinking that perhaps someone(s) created a modified version of this speaker, where it is skinny, but as wide and long / tall as it needs to be:

thats an example of a line array speaker.

Form factor on-walls might be a new tech speaker makers should be looking into.

Klipsch has a in-wall RP line, but they get hate, hey its affordable.

This could be considered a baby line array, im mean its hanging.

Axiom has some options as well.

Axiom is also a CDN company and they’ve got some good prices on refurb and b-stock for some of their on wall products. I’m going to start taking a deeper dive into them now to see how they are for soundstage and imaging being you can’t tow them in or anything once they’re on the wall.

Assume not a renter if youre looking to hang or cut into the wall. What are the room dimensions ?

it’s a rental. no holes, but hanging stuff is fine.

room is 11’ x 10’, but a 4’ x 2.5’ chunk is the closet. I also have that 6" foundation ledge / shelf along two walls.

Leave the closet open as an absorber. Micca 0o0 are small and have a mounting hole but their heavy for the type of wall mount zeos suggested. i angled mounted vertically so the buttom back edge butts up to the wall, then you can cheat with a small sub like the elac 1010.

being rear ported is less than ideal. :frowning:

Very, think i change my mind recomending them. Im getting distortion in my living room powered by topping SA300 through a Fiio dac. Ill try hooking up a better DAC. On a desk theyre great.

I cannot vouch for the sound quality. But im for new ways to incorporate sound tech back into homes. Never know a variation of in-furniture might be a viable option ahead. A member posted a company creating a commercial theatre seat equipped with a sound system to produce individual sound field per seat.

For the sound quality, I can recommend a soundbar 5 Best Soundbars under $300 (Fall 2022) – Reviews & Buying Guide the first one Vizio. My main entertainment center includes a Denon 5.1 receiver with Bose front speakers, Sony mid & rears, and a Yamaha powered subwoofer. I wanted my other TV to have better sound than the cheesy built-in speakers, but in a simpler and cheaper sound package. The soundbar has plenty of volume and reasonably good tone. Like most soundbars, it doesn’t really give you very good stereo separation unless you’re sitting really close. Simply a factor of the L-R front speakers only being 36" apart.
