Stephane P. Cloutier: First and foremost... understand that the sound emanates from the surface on which the exciter is mounted. per the old adage... horses for courses... your satisfaction will depend on a number of things. I have my exciters mounted on the exterior wall of a shower enclosure. I didn't want to blast podcasts in the morning in the bathroom, and wanted speakers in the shower. This is the perfect solution.

Akura2: I took a pair of these and paired them to a 2.1 channel Bluetooth amp that was advertised on Amazon (50 x 50 x 100 with bass and treble, sub-out volume and frequency) and I accidentally laid the driver on our leather sectional while setting up for testing... OMG.. even the sofa sounded great... there was bass and clarity and it was way more than I expected... I began placing the driver all over the house on different surfaces... even on my wife... and out of all the things I had on hand to put the drivers on, a 19 x 9 x 9 shipping box that I had flattened out (it's new) sounded the best! there was decent low-frequency extension, to the point that adding a subwoofer would be redundant unless you want to hit the really low frequencies (which I do and plan on adding) I can't wait to try these on acoustic ceiling tiles for the real test!!

Richard PriddyRichard Priddy: I bought 7 of these for a complete surround sound system. Yes, i got the idea from Tech Ingredients on YouTube! I was initially not even remotely happy with them. I tried using them with the 24" x 24" foam panels you can get from the big box stores. The sound was really hollow. Even paired with a good quality subwoofer, there were a lot of frequencies missing.

However, i realized two things - first, it was partly my fault for how i was mounting them. And second, they work way better with the acoustic ceiling tiles.

In the picture, you can see the front five speakers - mains, center channel, and the "height" speakers for atmos. I also have another pair of them for the rear surround, mounted on the ceiling above the couch that viewers will be using. Everything sounds amazing, given the price. I love the way they look, and although the sound is not quite perfect, it's plenty good for my setup as a second media room.

I bought these things on sale, paying $20 something for each. The ceiling tiles are $20 for a set of three. I made some mounts out of plywood with a little accent strip of scrap purpleheart. The tiles are hanging on some cheap black monofilament. So...

Katie Chilcott: Attached to acoustic ceiling tiles, and driven by a small amplifier. You get a surprisingly decent sound quality!

Marko Haapala: Bought these for building a multi-room speaker setup. Matched my expectations 100%. Superb high/mid-range delivery. For bass you'll need an external subwoofer, but that was expected.

Michael G.: I will just say that I have owned many speakers over the years. Ranging from JBL Studio Drivers to Bose 901's....to Cerwin Vegas...to Klipsch, Polk....etc, etc. (For anybody wondering....yes, I am that old)

When I saw the Youtube videos online, I had to try it. I had to see it work at all.
Maybe I had been conditioned by my many years of speakers.....but to get any sound at all sounded a little far-fetched. I wondered if building speakers with these was akin to building that radio using one of these kits that kids can do. OK, you got some radio. Not ready to replace my home system with it though.
And to get good sound? Voodoo.....Sorcery...

I am here to tell you....it works. I used two of these with 1" thick foam board 2frx2ft.
And the quality of the sound? OMG!!!!! This has left me re-thinking everything that I thought I knew in over 40 years of playing with speakers. Now to be fair, you can expect a pretty steep drop-off at approx the 200Hz range. There is no base...at all. But after building these speakers..(And a child can do it, in fact, I had my 10y/o child help me as a project), I paired them with a cheap little amp that had Bluetooth and a sub out...

Mik Pop: Bought a pair for foam board speakers I made. 2' X 4'. Clear mid and high frequency sound. Having a sub woofer makes it a well rounded sound.
