I have a pair of Parasound CST-280A's installed in my set up. I use dipoles normally, but wanted some direct-radiating rears as well. I was limited by space so I chose in-walls.

Each 280A has an 8" woofer and a 1.5" voice coil with polycarbon cones and polyurethane surrounds. Installation is EASY. You just cut out a hole using the supplied template, put the speakers in there, screw down 6 screws that flip out "dog heads" to grab the wall, and tighten. They can be removed with ease at any time. There's even over .5" margain for error in cuttin the hole! Very easy. They also provide a small cut out to allow for an IR receiver to be installed in the speakers in case you want to aim your remotes at the speakers for system control. Very cool.

I'm really happy with the Parasounds. They're undoubtably made by another company. Visually they look identical to SpeakerCraft, both the grill and "under the hood". It would not surprise me in the least if they had the same drivers. They certainly look the same...

Anyway, the pair is around $450-$500US/pair.
