Features and Specifications:
The OSD-MKW850 Spitfire Ultra Reference 8" in-wall speaker is designed for the true audiophile. Premium technologies such as a Kevlar woofer, pivoting aluminum dome tweeter and a sophisticated crossover network provide deep bass and exceptional top-end frequency response. Kevlar is considered to be the best component for woofers because it responds note for note without coloration, even when you crank up the volume. The contour switches let you tailor frequency response to your room arrangement, so you won't find yourself wishing for more or less treble, midrange or bass output just because you don't sit in the "sweet spot." If you're the type of listener or movie fanatic who hears every little detail, this speaker will more than satisfy.

For a retrofit installation, no construction bracket is needed.

Questions and Answers:
By Steve from Mi. on March 5, 2012
Can the grills be painted?
By Customer Service - Q&A on March 6, 2012

Answer:
Hi Steve,
Yes, we recommend using spray paint only so the grills do not clog with paint. We also include an installation template that doubles as a paint shield. Please note that you will need to remove the internal cloth behind the grill before you paint CL

Product seems very solid and there were no surprises in its apparent construction and ease of mounting. - William

I replaced a set of B&W tower speakers with these in-walls, not expecting much, but wanted to declutter the living room. Seriously, these things blew the B&W's away. I have them hook up to a Velodyne subwoofer, and no kidding, the room is absolutely filled with distortion free music. Forget the price point on these. You would't do better than these paying four times the amount. Took me two hours to install (being very careful) I felt like taking the B&W badges off the front of the towers and gluing them to the grills of these in-walls. Thank you, thank you! Delivery was dead easy - arrived in week to Canada. - Zelig

Perfect matching for my MK ceiling speakers. They can be played loud without distortion. Strong bass and very clear on highs - very balance speaker. - Greg

I disagree the previous reviewer, for in wall speakers which donäó»t have back box enclosure the MK-W850 give great bass. I installed them in my home theatre room and sound great either watching movies or listening music. Iäó»m a custom installer and have been using Jamo and Speakercraft speakers before, these MK speakers definitely give them a run for the money. - Danny

Overall pleased with the sound but a bit disappointed in the bass response from the 8î upgrade. I think this applies to all ceiling in wall speakers. The overall sound is what Iíd expect from a 6.5î driver, so thereís no real benefit to having a larger driver with a larger footprint in the wall. If I were to do it again Iíd go with the 6.5î drivers & add a small sub to tackle the lows below 80hz or so. A simple 8î or 10î powered sub (NOT in-wall) would balance it nicely. Apart from the sonic improvement, the smaller satellites would be less intrusive in the wall space. Given the limitations of the speakers, the sound they do produce is excellent & it appears to be very well made with quality ingredients. - Alex

I am using these speakers as my rears for the home theater. I am very satisfied with them. If I had to do it again, I would have a pair as my front ones as well. The sound from them are incredible. Well worth the money! - Doug

Items were delivered as promised and the quality is great. I intend to purchase speakers for the rest of the house from OSD. Thanks for a great product. - Maury

I have 4 pair in my basement, they sound GREAT at low or high volume. Sub-woofer makes these speakers sound even better.They sound as good as my Bose.Two of my friends are going to order them. - BigDog

The speakers sound great, very clear. Easy to install and looks great. - RJ

I absolutely love Outdoor Speaker Depot.com. I was able to install a whole house audio system with the help of the friendly staff at OSD. I have purchased all of my ceiling speakers, volume controllers, speaker brackets, indoor and outdoor speaker wire, a frog speaker, and a dual source, 8 zone speaker selector unit from Outdoor Speaker Depot. Every time I call in, the staff is always friendly and helpful no matter what type of question I have. They have excellent shipping as the order typically ships the same day and I receive it within a week of placing the order. I am extremely pleased with Outdoor Speaker Depot.com and will continue to purchase from them whenever I need new speakers or equipment for our system. Thanks a TON OSD! - Jason

This is one easy place to get great products at great prices without any problems. I ordered speakers, volume controls and speaker cables. All came on time and now that they are installed, they sound great! I had never heard of these folks prior to my order but will definitely recommend them to my friends and neighbors. - Anonymous

I was looking for an in-wall speaker that would sound good and not break the bank. I had tried another pair from a different supplier that had great upper and mid range, but lousy base. The MKW-850 hit a very nice balance. - Hairless Head

I love your home theatre OSD-MK-W850 200W in wall Kevlar speaker. It is easy to install and has the incredible sound with my home theater setup. I will recommend you to my family and my friends. - Anonymous
