The Onsia speakers are transducer speakers, so they use distributed vibrations over a flat surface rather than the vibrating cone used by conventional speakers. In essence, the Onsia speakers, at least the in-wall ones, use the entire wall as an amplifier. Onsia's <a href="http://onsiaideas.com/technology">website</a> has some good information about the difference.</p> <p>Thanks for the input! </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/onsia-flat-panel-speakers#post-156 Mon, 16 Aug 2010 23:57:18 +0000 revraft 156@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>I don't have Onsia speakers, but I have some Polk Audio RC55i In-wall speakers. They sound pretty good. I don't think in-wall speakers will ever sound as good as tower speakers, but you can't beat the fact that they are hidden. I'm happy with them. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/onsia-flat-panel-speakers#post-154 Mon, 16 Aug 2010 19:38:41 +0000 thraco 154@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>On a trip to Lowe's a while back, I came across a display of <a href="http://onsiaideas.com/">Onsia's</a> flat-panel speakers. The display wasn't terribly informative since they didn't let you choose to listen to one speaker over the others, but I really loved the idea of completely hiding my home theater speaker system, and perhaps my entire home audio system, in the walls. They have three types of speakers: In-wall, which can handle 50W RMS, and in-ceiling and in-frame, which can each handle 25W RMS.</p> <p>I was wondering if anyone has had experience with installing/listening to these (or perhaps more generically with NXT audio technology in general), and what your impressions are. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/question-about-non-conducting-resistor-on-sub#post-120 Sat, 03 Apr 2010 04:35:19 +0000 mrHTN 120@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>Not sure on the wattage, but I think the 8 Ohms was there for the front speakers. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/question-about-non-conducting-resistor-on-sub#post-119 Fri, 02 Apr 2010 02:22:54 +0000 rrcade 119@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>This thing is probably 20 years old, 15&quot; sub in an end table type enclosure, I bought it with a SAE Amp from Crutchfield. My question is: why are there 5watt 8 ohm ceramic square non conductive? resistors across the speaker terminals? I assume this was to limit the output signal as this sub was passive and you could connect your front speakers and the sub all from one stereo channel. Do you think that's what they are for?<br /> P.S.<br /> How many Watts do you think I should look for in a new Amp to power a sub that size?<br /> Thanks </p>
