It's actually at the more premium end of this type of gear, and therefore priced accordingly, on the same level as the Mordaunt-Short In-walls/In-ceilings (although I think the M-S are slightly cheaper for the same level of products ).
There are, obviously, brands out there that are more high-end and therefore also more expensive, and there are many brands out there that are in a more affordable area of price while still being good quality, genuine pedigree speaker brand made stuff (Paradigm, Jamo, to name a couple). What amp are you going to power them with? How big is the room? As for a subwoofer - don't kid yourself into thinking you can get an In-wall solution. In my experience you can't unless you go to great effort and cost. It is much simpler and cost effective, and you will get a much more predictable result, if you get a decent stand-alone sub an put it in a corner somewhere. There are many, many to choose from...

They also have very good info on placement as well. Again, just to arm you with good info, most decent In-walls etc. have those adjustments (perhaps not in all of their entry level ranges, but certainly at the same level as the Niles stuff) - often referred to as boundary or room compensation adjustments (basically a treble and sometimes a bass adjustment, usually just a + or - 3dB switch). All decent ones also have good installation instructions... Thank you again Simeon.. I will call my certifier for that. Have a good day 4 1327 Evening, Had my 3 month maintance done on my new place.
