Our Guide to In-Wall and In-Ceiling Speakers

When you move into a new home, the sleek floors and empty walls offer such promise and possibility. But once we fill our homes with clutter, that open space that was once so enticing is now nowhere to be seen.

Whether you’re building a new home or are sprucing up your longtime residence, in-ceiling and in-wall audio is an increasingly popular home addition for music lovers.
