GoldenEar Invisa HTR 7000

Most in-ceiling speakers fire sound straight down, which can make audio feel disconnected from the screen. The HTR 7000 features angled drivers that direct sound toward your listening position, creating a more realistic, forward-facing soundstage.

Yes, they are specifically designed to handle main front-stage duties. Because of their angled driver design and high-performance tweeter, they can effectively mimic the performance of traditional bookshelf or floor-standing speakers.

These speakers are quite flexible and work well with amplifiers ranging from 10 to 250 watts per channel. A high-quality receiver or dedicated amplifier will help you get the most out of their high-definition drivers.

The HTR 7000 uses a magnetically attached, micro-perf grille that sits nearly flush with the ceiling. It is designed to be discreet and can be painted to match your ceiling color for a virtually invisible look.

While these speakers have a respectable frequency response down to 42Hz, they are not full-range speakers. For a complete home theater experience, you should pair them with a dedicated subwoofer to handle the deep bass frequencies.

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic ceiling mounting, but keep in mind they require a 5-inch mounting depth. Always check your ceiling joist spacing and ensure there is enough clearance before cutting into your drywall.
