Monitor Audio W165 6.5" In-Wall Speaker
Allow about 10m per speaker for a typical run back to the amplifier. Webro 16/2 LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) is the right cable for runs in ceilings and walls.
The Monitor Audio W165 is a 6.5" in-wall speaker built for anyone wanting high-fidelity sound without visible boxes cluttering the room. It suits dedicated home cinema setups, multi-room music systems, and living spaces where a flush, discreet finish matters, from lounges to home offices.
Why we like it
- Pivoting C-CAM gold dome tweeter lets you angle high frequencies towards the listening position for sharper imaging
- 6.5" MMP II bass driver delivers taut midrange and surprisingly deep bass for its size
- Tri-Grip fixing system clamps securely to plasterboard for a rattle-free, professional finish
- Paintable magnetic grille disappears into the wall once decorated
- HF level switch (+3dB/0dB/-3dB) lets you tailor treble output to room acoustics
Installation notes
The W165 requires a cut-out of 332 x 213mm and a mounting depth of 92mm, so check wall cavity depth before installing. Overall dimensions including the grille are 370 x 250mm with a depth of 96mm. A pre-construction bracket (WB6) is available for new-build projects. These speakers pair well with a Sonos Amp or WiiM Amp for streaming-based multi-room or home cinema setups, with the recommended amplifier power sitting between 20-65W per channel.
