Speakers in the ceiling?
Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2014 10:37 am
Hi Everyone,
I've just moved house to a place where the living room, dining room and Kitchen are all in one open plan area. Each has it's defined areas within the room, kitchen, dining and living area forming a triangle around a central staircase (not sure if that makes sense so I made a basic layout). The area is upstairs, with attic above and the ceiling height is about 10 feet. The Whole space is around 36'X26'. I'm looking to see if you might have some advice for me on buying speakers to fit in the ceiling and where to fit them. I have plans for a music room separately, so a music solution here must be pleasing for my wife - ie, as invisible as possible - her words!
My plan is to use an integrated amplifier, I have a Marantz PM7200 which I can use with a cd player or streamer, and I can tuck them into a cupboard in the kitchen out of harms way - good start!
I thought four speakers would do the trick.
Does any one have advice on where to fit ceiling speakers and any recommendations on suitable sets which won't break the bank. Ceilings are white so white speakers would receive the biggest thumbs up.
Many thanks in advance.
Marcus
