Hello,

Looking for my second system for the house. I love my Mythos St system, but was looking for a cleaner look on the second system. I was looking at either the LCi or RTS in-walls. They are quite pricey in comparison to some of the other options, but was wondering if anyone could validate their performance for the price? ***ahem, is Mantis around***

    check the mythos xtr50's, recently came out, they are less than 2 inches deep, i love my vm20's but the look of these mythos would have been a little sexier with my led. good luck

    I thought about the new slim mythos, they are a canidate in the running, but I was looking at getting a different brand and sound for the second system for a little variety.

    The LC80i is definitely an LSi all the way, no disappointment there.

    I would recommend building or buying an in wall/ceiling enclosure to help stiffen up the sound a bit. YMMV.

    If the wall cavity or ceiling is open consider sound absorption batting between the open areas of the studs or joist.

    Great sounding speaker.

    That was one of the advantage of the RTS or Def Tech in-walls, they have their built in enclosures to help mitigate that issue. I will have to find a place to audition the the options.

    Polk manufactures enclosures for these inwall speaks.

    I have looked prior for some specs, mainly a volume number, on building an enclosure and came up empty.
