Bose use tiny little cube speakers in their flagship product because a)
they have a very high WAF, b)they are INSANELY inexpensive to
manufacture and c)they are marketed towards upscale consumers who read
high-brow magazines without bothering to learn even the most basic
tenets* of proper loudspeaker design.
Don't know why they took a traditional design approach to their in-walls
seeing as nearly everything else they design is non-traditional. FWIW,
they still sound absolutely awful.
In-walls can sound fantastic when designed well with quality components.
Look at Sonance, RBH, Polk or Niles just to name a few of the entry
level players. If your budget allows and you want to get very accurate
sound from in-ceiling speakers, look at Triad. Another in-wall/ceiling
which has a very different approach with some amazingly detailed imagery
are Cabasse iO coaxials.
But please, please, please do your Myth system some justice and put
something, ANYTHING, other than Bose in the room.
* Here is the de facto article I refer prospective clients to when they
bring up Bose. If they still have a thing for Bose, I know they are
going to be PITA customer and I politely drop them like a hot potato.
