In-Ceiling / In-Wall NEW June, 2018
Introducing the all new HDX and SDX Speaker Lines
Now available to pre-order; shipping begins June 27, 2018! We've been hard at work designing two new lines of in-ceiling and in-wall speakers to top our popular HD and MP speakers. This was not an easy task. With tens of thousands sold and more than a thousand positive reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5 stars for the HD line and 4.7 out of 5 stars across the MP line, one may wonder why we'd attempt a change at all. The easy answer is that our new, proprietary design gives our customers an exciting new aesthetic choice that no other manufacturer provides. And, of course, we've taken advantage of the design change to improve performance wherever we could.The slimmest possible profile plus two grille options provided with every speaker!
We understand that in-ceiling and in-wall speakers are meant to disappear into your room. HTD is the first to offer two distinct grille options with every speaker. Both options are designed to better blend into your ceiling with a perfectly flat profile, and you can decide which look is best for your room even AFTER the speaker has been installed. Insert the powder-coated aluminum grille leaving a modest trim around the edge, similar to the way most in-ceiling canned lights appear (see top image below); OR cover the entire speaker with a powder coated steel grille that attaches with magnets and completely covers the entire speaker yet sits only 3mm off the ceiling (see middle image below). Our current design (see bottom image below) is shown for reference.
Improving on the performance of a proven design.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." We've all heard that one- especially here in the south. But we also know there is always room for improvement. When it comes to acoustic performance, we've improved both lines focusing on slightly better bass and power handling. While the front side of any speaker is important, speaker enthusiasts know it is at least equally important to note what's on the back. We've improved key crossover components and increased the magnet size on every new model. Below is a comparison showing the new HDX-R65 (left) compared to our current model HD-R65 (right).
Available now for Pre-Order, shipping begins June 2018.
Most manufacturers wouldn't share their plans in advance. At HTD, we view our role more as a partnership with our customers in ensuring their home audio project is a success. And for many of our customers, planning begins well in advance of when their speakers are actually needed for installation. So we are giving you a choice- choose from our current designs while still in stock, or pre-order the new ones at the same price (prices will be slightly higher for the HDX and SDX lines once in stock).We expect to have the first production of HDX-R65, HDX-R80, HDX-R65AIM, SDX-R65, and SDX-R80 ready for order fulfillment beginning June 27, 2018. Models SDX-S65, SDX-W65, HDX-W65 and HDX-W80 will go intro production next with order fulfillment beginning late July. SDX-W80 will be available for the first time in September.A few FAQs . . .
Will the new designs fit the same "new construction" brackets as the current designs? Although we've managed to decrease the sizes of the new round speakers by a few millimeters, they will fit the same new construction brackets currently sold on our site. The rectangular designs are slightly wider and will NOT fit our existing construction brackets. Keep in mind that new construction brackets are not necessary for installation but do make it easier with final installation since your dry-waller will cut the hole for you.
Is there a comparable new model for every existing HD and MP speaker? Almost! All models, both round and rectangular, are being replaced, except for the MP-W50 which will be discontinued once sold out. The MP-R50 replacement will be available later in 2018. The HDX line will replace the current HD line and the SDX line will replace the MP line.
Why should I order now? All of the new models will be priced slightly higher than our current lines once in stock. Pre-orders will receive the same price as current models. You can elect to have your entire order held to ship all at once or we will ship the balance of your order now. In either case, there is only one shipping charge and your credit card or paypal account will only be charged as items are shipped.
