Please talk me out of it!

I am the proud owner of 340se's for my right center and left and some 200se's for my surrounds. I purchased these as a trail for my home theatre system in my basement. My basement is not finished but it will eventually have a drop down screen with a epson ub1080p projector. I have them set up in my family room with a HSU VTF-1 sub and it sounds great.

Now for the bad news. I was all set to purchase a set of sierra's to replace the 340's in the family room and move the 340's to the basement but my wife doesn't want that look upstairs, she wants me to purchase some in-walls. I have a flat screen and she wants a cleaner look. I auditioned some Klipsch RB81 bookshelf's that my local retailer told me would give me a good idea of what a set of R-5800-W in-wall speakers might sound like. They cost more than my 340's but don't impress me. I love my 340's and by all accounts here, would love the sierra's even more.

Can anyone suggest a fabulous reasonably priced in-wall speaker, or can Dave make a set of in-wall sierra's?
Thanks

Buy the Sierra-1 speakers. I have 5 for my home theater and would never part with them. Amazing. Nothing I have heard comes close. Work on the wife - the Sierra-1 is a great looking speaker and a nice size for a living room. In the end, if you must go with in wall speakers and Ascend is not an option you might want to check out the in wall clearance sale Cambridge Soundworks is having. Just check in their clearance section. They are not Ascends but you can try them at home, they make soild products (based on what I tried before I purchased my Ascends), and they are priced nice. Hope this helps.

does it need to be an inwall kit with a beveled edge? read around, the htm200's can go inwall since it is sealed. certainly not the same as sierras, but if you must suffice use the best you can get away with ;D

i say push for the sierras

Thanks guys,

I agree, I would love to buy the sierra's even though they have just gone up by about 25% (canadian dollar). Can you guys post some pictures of your sierra setups. Maybe my wife will find one appealing.
Is there a previous post with some pictures??

Maybe there is still hope.
