Great Sound
The KEF Ci160MR delivers premium sound in a clean, discreet form factor. If you want ceiling speakers that combine wide coverage, excellent clarity, and true hi-fi performance, these are an easy recommendation. I also love how easy they were to install

Good seamless integration and really adds a lot
I recently upgraded my receiver and added four of these to my setup to increase it to a 7.2.4 system. I am very pleased with the results. I was concerned about installing speakers with ”only” a 6.5” woofer into my fairly high end system. I was also concerned about blending these with my Definitive Technologies Tower speakers. Finally I have a low ceiling height in my basement (~7.5’). But I can unequivocally tell you, these speakers do the trick. I really didn’t need the added bass given my Def Techs and another stand alone 15” sub so it was good I went with these. Plus I wanted the diffusion…

Wonderful speakers
For the money these can’t be beat. The uni-q driver and tangerine waveguide truly provide a wide dispersion of sound. They do not however provide a lot of bass. But for atmos speakers or speakers for ambiance, they are perfect.

Wonky upper-mids dip (-9dB around 2.5KHz)
The KEF Ci160MR has a 9dB dip around 2.5kHz. Same deficiency on 2 different pairs from different batches. Perhaps a poorly designed crossover. At least the dip is consistent over variety of listening angles and is not super high Q, so it can be equalized out. Nonetheless, I’d rather have a ceiling speaker with a weird but spatially consistent frequency response than one with a great on-axis response that varies too much off axis. I don’t know of a better choice at $300. But go with KEF’s higher-tier in-ceiling speakers instead if you can. The oval logo can be simply pulled off the grille for…

Great product, Left smudge marks all over walls ..
The Sonos work excellent and installed great But the workers from Best buy left smudge marks all over my freshly painted walls, which was shocking, I mean how dirty were the hands of these workers? Should have been cleaned up.

Great sound for Atmos.
Bought these on sale for atmos in my living room. They sound excellent and were a big improvement on the JBL’s that were originally there.

Great Purchase!
I am very pleased with the purchase of this pair of speakers.

KEF is as advertised
Very easy to install into existing ceilings. Only shallow depth is needed. Sound is great. I am adding a subwoofer but it is not a necessity. Magnetic grills are awesome.
