Installation of B&W 683 into a wall cubby


Have set of 683s with Pioneer elite sc07. Moving to new house and building custom entertainment cabinet. Was told I could put a set of 683's into a wall with 1 1/2" space left on both sides and on top, with 6" rear clearance. Looking for feedback on whether or not this will detract from their performance.

Thanks.

The only issue with using the cubby in this manner is that you are limited to using the B&W 683 or speakers of that size until you stop using the cubby.

As for performance, the speakers will sound fine ... you will lose things though like separation. I use Spendor SA1 monitors housed inside an entertainment cabinet. It's not perfect, but it works out well enough.
