I built my home new in 1994 and always kicked myself for not installing all the high tech audio, video and ethernet, but this year I was fortunate enough to start a remodel that would effectively remove the drywall in all of my existing living floor, so I decided to do it right while I had my chance!my research started on in wall/in ceiling speakers, I have been a klipsch and Boston man for more than a decade, but always loved def. tech. as well. After seeing the offerings from Klipsch with the R1650 and R2650C speakers, I really couldn't bring myself to buy a Klipsch speaker without a Tractix® horn on it, especially at the price of the R2650Cs.the Definitive UIW63/a has been in production for a long time at this point, from 2005 as far as I can tell but they are aging like fine wine. the 2650s don't sound as good as these, and they don't have the even frequency response (or low range) these have.the Def. Techs also have better rough-in brackets although they are still hideously overpriced. the stamped metal is very rigid and helps eliminate all the bad stuff you don't want in your sound versus the polycarbonate klipsch brackets.after debating a long while, I put aside the thoroughly reviewed and generally well liked Klipsch speakers and abandoned the idea of Boston since the few I found were too expensive. I ordered 16 of these new in packages of 8 (contractor pack) as well as two pair from amazon sellers that were new in box but never used (2006 production versus the 2011 dates on the amazon.com contractor packs).getting them home, I ordered def. tech rough in brackets to use because I wanted an acoustic chamber and vapor barrier, and it was much easier to make with the bracket (using R3 foundation insulation board, loctite and nails for form foam boxes around the speaker backs to improve performance, increase R value, keep the blown insulation from getting in the speakers, and for code to attic spaces.I started the burn-in process with these in a makeshift bench: speaker in sheet rock in front of the bracket with a box on the back.at first, they sounded good, but completely lacked low range, but as I kept throwing more and more at them and the hours passed, they set and my god do they ever sound beautiful.no range is overpowering on these. the trebels are in check, midrange is pretty good for a 6.5 and when installed properly, the low range is acceptable as well (especially if you have them 9 feet on center from one another in a 10 foot ceiling).in the end, I did wire my home for two 8" Micca speakers which I run as low range woofers just to pad the only range that lacks a tiny bit on these 63s (which is fine, hey they're still 6.5" drivers.)Other thoughts:* these are 4.5" deep, waaay deeper than most speakers this size, or bigger, so be prepared for that when you do your survey* they go down to 27Hz, substantially better range than even most competitors higher end 8" speakers.* don't pay more than $115/each for these new. they're worth every penny even at higher prices, but the can be had new from Definitive for that.* look no further, these are brilliant.* use 14 gauge wire, no need to over kill like I did with 12 gauge for 50 foot runs.*always wire more than you think you will ever need, you'll thank yourself later.system overview2x Pioneer VSX-1021KNiles MSA-1020x UIW/63A2x Micca 8" low range w/old sony 2ch amp driving2x Klipsch AW650 deck speakers2x Klipsch RB-811x Sunfire Jr.12 gauge CL3 wirevolume rhiostats on deck and in bathroom, main areas volume/source controlled with pioneer iphone app.

I purchased a pair of the UIW63/A in-ceiling speakers to function as rear surround units for my home system. They are accompanied by front Definitive Techonology bi-polar speakers, a subwoofer and center speaker and are fed by a mid-priced Onkyo AV unit. The sound is great for this setup with the only apparent missing content is the mid frequencies (although tested by ear only). I recommend these speakers for similar set ups. They were very easy to install with pre-wiring and are non-obtrusive. My family is very happy with the overall home theatre and music listening environment, although it can be very loud in the upper story of our home. The installation and user manual for the speakers from Definitive is generic, short and non-informative, but a quick Google search or Youtube will assist greatly.

Only problem is there a little smaller than standard 6.5" speakers. Would not cover a 6.5" standard ruff in bracket. So I kept them for a while and installed in a remodel. Worked great and sounds great!!!!! Highly recommend for "remodel only"
