REFERENCE CINEMA IN-WALL SPEAKER AND CI-HV18 SUBWOOFER REVIEW

The NEXTLEVEL ACOUSTICS REFERENCE CINEMA IN-WALL SPEAKERS AND HV18 SUBWOOFER produce better sound than any commercial cinema I’ve been to for less money than high-end cabinet speakers.

LIKES
  • Super precise horn tweeters with wide dispersion.
  • Well balanced mid-range.
  • Easy to drive to high volumes.
  • CI-HV18 sub is incredibly clean and detailed.
WOULD LIKE TO SEE
  • Larger in-wall speakers with more bass extension.

There is nothing negative I can say about the NextLevel Acoustics Reference Cinema In-Wall Speakers and CI-HV18 Subwoofer. The in-walls perform better than most cabinet speakers I’ve heard, and the sub delivers the extension and volume of a ported cabinet with the precision of a sealed one. NextLevel Acoustics has bent the laws of physics here, most definitely in a good way.

If you want a discrete speaker system that sounds better than any commercial cinema, the In-Walls can literally disappear behind an acoustically transparent screen or behind color-matched grills. They are a zero-footprint solution. The CI-HV18 sub is easy to hide too thanks to its bandpass design. Put it up front behind a partition or along a side wall and prepare to have your room shaken.

The NextLevel Acoustics Reference Cinema In-Wall Speakers and HV18 Subwoofer are a premium and convenient audio solution that doesn’t compromise sound quality in any way, shape, or form. They receive my highest recommendation.
