We were mesmerized by Energy's Veritas custom series in wall loudspeakers. Until seeing them up close we had no idea of the amount of design detail Energy put forth with these products.

Some of the design highlights include:

Ultradamped mounting system to eliminate drywall resonance
Boundary gain compensation circuitry to smooth out frequency response when placing speakers flush mount to the wall.
1" thick solid MDF baffles.
Midrange and Treble controls for frequency contouring.
Independent mounting framing which can be installed in preconstruction homes independent of the speaker portion so avoid damage during construction.
