I was watching the Fine Living Channel the other day and saw a show called I Want That. While I was watching the show they mentioned all these really cool things to put in your home. One of these cool little gadgets was an in wall speaker. See, they use this weird little gadget, wedged between the studs in the wall that vibrates the wall it's behind, turning the wall into a speaker. They also have a smaller device that turns anything you lay it on (countertops, dressers, tables, etc.) into a speaker too.
I'm looking to have my own home built soon and I wanted to find where I could get this device to put in our rec room for a home theater system. Does anyone know where I can get it?

I saw these demonstrated at CES and surprisingly the high frequency response was not that bad. Not all walls or frames in houses are built the same so your actual results may vary, but if your interested, take a look at the link below for more info...

The first link is for the in wall "speaker" however the sound quality is not the best and should not be used for anything other than a novelty.
I really think you would be more interested in hiding a speaker or have one that is ascetically pleasing. See the next links to not only the coolest looking speakers but they sound phenomenal.
To completely hide a speaker is counter intuitive to function, speakers MUST be big and heavy to accurately produce sound. Not to say that sound can't be reproduced by small speakers but that a large speaker will do a much better job. The drawback is, they can be ugly so audition the Martin Logan's before you decide to get hidden in wall speakers. The next link is to a alternative to a whole wall speaker and sounds a little better. The next link is to a lower cost alternative to Martin Logan but the imaging is nicer on the Logan's.
Before you decide what speaker to get make sure you listen head to head with a more traditional loudspeaker.
you also will want to work with a home theater designer first and have the cooperation of a interior designer. But get them involved in the process early since wiring costs less with open walls, and structure can affect sound quality. They will be able to help you get the best sound possible and still like the look of the set up.
Next is a link to my all time favorite book for newbees to home theater.

Wall speakers are the worst. No two wall cavities are the same so that your speakers will all sound different. If the quality of sound is not important to you, save your money by getting a decent boombox you can hide when not in use.

I had a simiar situation recently when I saw a product on "I Want That, Bathrooms." I e-mailed the show from their web site and they e-mailed me back with the info.
