![]() I had one of those “good problems,” in that so many companies wanted in on review opportunities at my house that I was able to set up a number of pairs of invisible speakers, including matching them with invisible subwoofers from Gray Sound. This is where the $1,650 per pair Stealth Acoustics LRX-83 speakers come into play. I’ve been pouring money into this place like I make a hell of a lot more than I really do, and that includes a burgeoning AV system–one that truly embraces the invisible speaker concept. This McMansion (yes, I am not offended if you call it that because that is exactly what it is) was built in 1998 and never received one dollar of capital improvements, sadly. The new house is about 50 percent larger and the style is “beachy, contemporary, Mediterranean,” which is a pretty far departure from 1950s “post-and-beam” modern style of our last two homes.
