Monitor Audio WSS430 In-Wall Speaker
The WSS430 flagship maintains its siblings’ shallow depth – all three feature identical footprints – and offers supreme audio performance, drawing on design principles, and materials, from Monitor’s Audio’s high-end Platinum II speakers.
The WSS430 range topper employs dished C-CAM cones to ensure ultimate diaphragm rigidity – the main aim here is to reduce distortion. High strength Neo magnets and larger voice coils provide incredible driving force, low magnetic leakage, and slim profile. The magnetic system provides an ‘under-hung’ motor arrangement, ensuring the coil stays in the gap, reducing distortion further and increasing power handling.
Still just 50 mm deep, there is a lot going on with the WSS430. The MPD high frequency transducer technology – also from Monitor Audio’s flagship Platinum II designs – ensures incredibly low distortion, delivering clear high frequency to over 50 kHz. Remove the model’s magnetic front trim and you can rotate the tweeter to provide the optimum dispersion when using the model in landscape orientation.

Very compact, not cheap but tremendously capable
The Boss wanted invisible speakers to disappear into a new room. These boxes are very discreet but pack a decent punch. I would suggest they need a subwoofer to add weight, bass is very flimsy otherwise. Imagining is precise, and I would add quite bright at the moment. They sound dreadful out of the box, need running in. My set up is a ‘lifestyle’ compromise. They will not outperform a proper freestanding speaker, but they offer good performance if you need to balance design with sound. But factor in a good sub. I have a mighty Velodyne MicroVee which is borrowed from elsewhere. A good sub is essential I would suggest..

Amazing speakers
I got them for my 7.1 home theatre system as front, left and centre speakers and they are amazing.

Big improvement in sound quality and looks
I replaced a set of old KEF 'Egg' speakers, that had given long and valuable service with Monitor Audio wall speakers (WSS430). They are used for music and for TV in the kitchen/living room, and the quality of music is outstanding (but do need a sub). I installed them myself - crefully measuring everything, and had the appropriate tools and knowledge.

Great customer service
I needed to buy some Monitor Audio speakers for in wall fitting that aren`t a current stock item. The customer service adviser was able to give me a good price, check that they were in stock and expected delivery date before he took my order. Once ordered I received all items on the day I was expecting them and all in good condition. Thank you :-)
