The HT-8 speaker kit for home theater use.

With a depth of only 7.5" they will easily fit behind acoustically transparent screens if needed. Like the rest of the HT series, they're designed so they can be traditionally mounted or installed in a baffle wall set up.

Quality Control: Every compression driver gets a professional 5 point quality inspection test before we package your kits. We also frequency match them so that your set of speakers all sound the same. We don't know of any other retailer that completes this level of quality control. We do this because you probably don't have the testing gear or parameters for all of these tests. Because of this type of quality control it can take longer than a week to package and ship your speaker kits.
