Just take a look at Triad inwalls and the Axioms will seem like a bargain. I was, however, expecting the W22's to be $600 instead of $650.



Another comparison would be the Monitor Audio CP series. The Gold Reference In-wall sells for $1300 CDN a pair. At about $770 CDN for said Axioms, they are still a great deal.

Would you propose that a changeable faceplate cover the entire wall mounted speaker or a metal mesh that could be painted so that it looks like the wall and you only "see" the wood trim of the speaker?
