I want to use a acoustic transparent screen, due to space limitations I would have to inset the speaker partially in the wall about4” will this affect the performance of the speaker a great deal

Hi Dshardaway, Placing a Supercenter speaker 4" into a wall surface would only have a minimal affect the sound quality heard from the these speakers. Since all of the active speaker components on all of the SuperCenter speakers are front-firing, the sound they produce would not be affected at all. The upward firing bass radiators or passive radiators would be partially "obstructed" or behind a wall surface, but that really wouldn't change their sound much. Happy Listening!
