Price Paid:  $400.00 from eBay

Summary:
I'm using these in-wall speakers for stereo in a second zone (living room). I've received many compliments by those who thought in-walls could never rival box speakers. Most were impressed by the tight bass and wide dispersion of full range detailed sound. I highly recommend these speakers for both music and home theater - they're more than adequate for medium-sized rooms (18'x20').

Strengths:
Excelent build, easy installation and great sound. Best buy/value and performance for an in-wall.

Weaknesses:
Will only accept bare wire or pin connector.

Summary:
l really liked how easy these were to install, at first l was a little intimidated about cutting holes in my living room walls, but soon found out it was quite easy thanks to the really cool install template, instructions and overall design of these inwalls. They even come with a paint mask for painting to match the wall colour. I went with the dealers advice and used the pre-installation bracket kit which is a little pricey($45) but worth it. It made installing a snap and really firms up the wall surface nicely. These are with out a doubt the best value even at twice this price, they sound amazing , l have used them as a complete surround sound package paired with a paradigm cc370 center channel and have achieved superb results. Well worth the effort, in my opinion worth their weight in gold!! Great product Paradigm,Thanks!!

Strengths:
bang for your buck, bass extension ,detail ,ease of install process

Weaknesses:
connectors(minor)

Summary:
Used in a 5.1 DD sorround setup. Can play quite loudly before getting muddy. Although this unit is efficient it will ablely suck up the wattage. Amazing imaging for an inwall unit. Mid highs a little masked, although it does a very good job overall. Have lows rolled off at 80 hz (THX standard) to sub but unit is impressive down to that frequency. Compared against b&w's at twice the price and actually preferred paradigm's sound. Highly recommend.

Strengths:
great price point, aluminum bracket/case, actually images

Weaknesses:
sympathetic wall resonances (like all inwalls)

Summary:
In comparing these paradigm AMS300's to other offerings from the other dealers l found these superior in sound to even in much higher priced inwall units. Detailed highs and robust bass was excellent, as was ease of the installation process. These inwalls show great build quality, aren't hard to look at and can be painted to match your wall colour quite easily as they come with paint templates etc. They absolute best buy for a great integrated in wall systems.

Strengths:
No obtrusive speaker boxes, the absolute best sound for this kind of money, amazing bass output for inwalls

Weaknesses:
won't accept banana plugs

Summary:
l was so impressed with the sound of these in wall speakers l felt compelled to rave about them and post this review!! For in wall speakers these sound amazing, l think l'm going to sell my large and obtrusive tower/bookshelf speakers and use these in my home theatre for mains,centre and surrounds. l am currently using these as surrounds but hooked them up to test with 2 channel music and was quite impressed. Check ebay as they are sometimes up for sale and you might luck out and find a pair like l did (and save big $$$), great job paradigm, these are way better than anything else out there for this price!!

Strengths:
SOUND,quality, price, looks!!

Weaknesses:
none- for an in wall
