Sonance - MAG Series 8" 2-Way In-Ceiling Speakers (Pair) - Paintable White
Model:MAG8R SKU:6342750

Bestbuy runs these on once in a while. Normally retails $899.98 ($454 last price at Besbuy seems to be the average price) on sale today for $299.98 These are the 8", not 6-1/2".

These have the separate pivoting woofer and tweeter.

SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS
Pivoting Woofer and Tweeter
Pivoting drivers allow you to direct sound towards or away from the listening area, depending on how the speakers are being used:
• If you're using the speakers in stereo or as the front left/ center/right speakers in a home theater, pivot the woofer and/or tweeter directly towards the listening area. This will help the sound from the speakers blend into a solid soundstage even if the speakers are widely separated.
• If you're using the speakers as surround channel speakers in a home theater, you can create a more diffuse, spacious surround effect by pivoting the woofer and/or tweeter towards a wall or window, away from the listeners.
To Pivot the Tweeter:
Apply light pressure to the plastic ring around the outside edge of the tweeter dome. Do not touch or apply pressure to the tweeter dome itself.
To Pivot the Woofer:
Apply pressure on the outer edge of one of the tweeter support brackets. Do not touch or apply pressure to the woofer cone.

They sound great - not a great fan of ceiling speakers for home theater but I don't have a choice for my rear surrounds but they are impressive.

Features
8" fiberglass woofer
Along with 1" silk tweeter for a complete range of sounds.

2-way speaker system

This goes on sale for this price about once every month or so. These are Best Buy exclusive models. Some people like Sonance, But I've talked to multiple professional installers that say they are purposefully overpriced to lure people in with these big "sales".

Sonance is a great brand, especially for distributed audio speakers, which I would consider these. Even better deal is the open box which I see for $180.

They go down to 40hz so probably a little low end bass, but more punchy bass. Most average subs runs 30-45hz. Mine drops a low as 18hz. You feel it more than you hear it in some movies. Most humans can't hear below 20hz.

Same price again, I suspect this is a regular sale and the 'regular' price isn't legit.
