Tannoy In-wall speakers?

Hi!

I have such an hard time finding anything about in-wall speakers, as if no one ever took the time to review it even if they bought it... I found a few models I could probably buy for my mother (not enough space to have towers/bookshelf) and the Tannoy iw6 TDC is one of them (have a dealer near). Their MSRP was something around 500$ each and now, they're on clearance at 147$. It "looks" like a good deal, but here's the catch, no one has anything to say about them. There is virtually no review (as I found none), but I know Tannoy is a reputable brand, at least when it comes to bookshelf/tower speakers.

However, they do no dig under 70 Hz, but I guess a sub might be necessary anyways. Do you think Tannoy did good in-wall speakers? What would be the other brands out there (I would have liked Polk LCi, but there is none left... or else, they're too pricey at 800$) in the 300-400$ range for a pair?

Thanks!
Speakers: Polk Audio LSiM 705, LSiM 703, LSiM 704c
Receiver: Denon X3500H

    I had a pair of their older in walls, they sounded really nice. You will need a sub. Another in wall to check out are Pioneer coax units.
