Above and below screen
Installing loudspeakers above and below the screen is the ideal solution for setups where the screen takes up the entire wall, or in case where you don’t have space to place speakers on the left and right sides of the screen. Installing the loudspeakers above and below the screen still provides the perfect acoustic balance, as the sound is directed towards the listener. To achieve the perfect stereo image, a combination of two vertical in-wall loudspeakers (like the IW-66 or IW-26) or four in-ceiling/in-wall loudspeakers (two above, two below) will deliver the ultimate sound experience.

How to choose the right speakers
(For architects and interior designers)First of all, it is important to know how the room is going to be used and what kind of sound experience the owner has in mind. This is not about budget – the same budget can be used for the very finest reference music system with just two speakers, or split between multichannel speakers in a dedicated home theater. The key question is whether this is mainly a place to relax and enjoy listening to music and maybe watch some tv, or a dedicated cinema room to watch movies and concerts with friends. Most music is recorded in stereo, while movies, concerts, and games are produced with surround sound.
Statement speakers or discreet speakers
Again, it depends on what the owner has in mind. Loudspeakers can be completely installed and hidden in the wall, discretely placed on the wall, or proudly placed as an object of desire in the room like a grand piano.
