No offense! I've got a fairly small room and no room on the floors for towers, so I need to put something on/in the walls or ceiling. I looked at the Quintet system, but the wider frequency range of the SCW-2's is looking more attractive. If I can make it work, I get better speakers and she doesn't have to look at them hanging off the wall. Best of both worlds. ElShaddai

Thanks, Doug. Didn't really know how the power output levels would affect things. I know the 1801 is 70 watts/channel and the 2801 is 90 watts/channel. The SCW's are spec'd at 50 watts. I was under the impression that you should try to match the power output of the receiver to the power handling of the speaker ... is this correct? ElShaddai

Anyone have recommendations for a receiver match for the SCW-2 In-Wall speakers? I'll be using them for RF, LF, RR and LR, with a KV2 in the center. I'm looking generally for Denon or Yamaha. Any thoughts on which model would be a good match for these speakers' power handling <50 watts - 200 watts peak>? I'm leaning toward the Denon AVR-1801, but welcome any other suggestions. Thanks, ElShaddai

The volume figure refers to the airspace available within the wall. You don't want to build a little 2X4 box around your in-wall speaker. If it's mounted on the drywall within a normal stud bay, there will be plenty of volume. Ross That sounds great! Thanks for the clarification. ElShaddai

I'm leaning toward putting in some in-wall speakers as part of a "wife-friendly" home theater setup. However, one of my walls is a shared interior wall with another room and I'm unsure as to how much total wall depth is required for the Klipsch speakers. I'd like to use the SCW-2 speakers and need clarification on what "0.75 cubic feet" of "recommended back air volume" means. Thanks, ElShaddai
