Our house is a 50s brick home so it’s just furring strips on brick so I don’t have the depth for any wall speakers (otherwise that would be ok) I also have way to much going on in the ceiling and where our master bedroom is the joists are all over the place and I’m not reframing to fit speakers.

They don’t have to be metal, but I don’t really like the wood slat look. It’s purely faux so putting fabric behind the metal is a good idea!
