Revel Salons in an enclosure?

ok I now concur with the "just go purchased some cheap speakers at best buy" from above. Rule 1 speakers cannot be placed inside a cabinets if you expect good sound

Everyone,

Thanks very much for your input. I have to admit that I am aware that most/all the high end setups do not place their speakers in enclosures. I have seen one case and heard of another case. Two example cases are: I saw with Salons in enclosures at the HT store in Montclair and a mention of one by Century Stereo in San Jose. So there are cases of this occuring. And this I presume are done by the pros (?)

BTW, it's really not the cabinet makers fault, he is doing his job the best he can as a cabinet maker. Isn't all this part of the learning process?

So if the Salons or WP7s cannot be placed in an enclosure, what speaker can? I presume some speakers must be designed to perform in this manner? Any suggestions? I would like them to be as good as the Salons.

"And this I presume are done by the pros (?)"

just because someone gets paid for what they are doing doesn't mean they are good at it IMO

just go Bose

You are not going to find any inwall speaker that is as good as the Salons. A good starting point would be the Revel I30 inwalls. As far as the cabinet goes that you plan to put the salons in, it could be made from solid gold but it's still going to screw up the sound of the speakers. THESE SPEAKERS ARE MADE TO BE FREE-STANDING! Listen to what Leftistelf said above and fire your interior designer and hire an acoustic engineer.

I thought I was listening? Hence the question, what are my alternatives besides the Salons which can be cabinet mounted or wall mounted?
