Earthquake Sound launches SweetSpot in-ceiling speakers
If the THX badge on Klipsch's announced in-ceiling speakers moved them out of your price range, the new SweetSpot lineup from Earthquake Sound might be a better fit. Based on the company's name alone, you might think it only produced subwoofers; not so, dear reader. The SS-82W and SS-62W in-ceiling models boast 8- and 6-inch drivers, respectively, and promise to keep the sound focused rather than spraying it everywhere like some other in-ceiling solutions. We'll give credit for this to the angled baffle and swiveling 1-inch tweeter and leave aside the fact that a tightly focused delivery might negatively impact surround channel performance. There are also tonal adjustments for the mid-bass and treble to help dial in performance. Claimed response covers 30Hz - 30kHz, and the SS-82W is available for $399 per speaker (no pricing info yet on the SS-62W).
