Ceiling Speakers for Music Only
Hi All:
I have some ceiling speakers in the new home I purchased. The placement is good (slanted toward the bed where I'll be listening) but I want something better than what's there. I have easy access through the attic and can do any size. Looking to spend under $2,500 if possible but will consider more.
I know that anything other than in-ceiling would sound better but here's my reasoning:
1. If I want to listen critically, I have an amp and floor-standing speakers in my office.
2. This is my bedroom setup where I'm basically laying in bed reading on the tablet.
3. There are speakers in the ceiling already so it's an easy swap.
4. My wife likes the uncluttered look of no speakers and amp in the bedroom.
5. We have very tall slanted ceilings so the speakers are pointed directly at me which is nice.
My installer wants me to put in Triad because that's what he sells. Interested to hear any opinions on them or others.
Thanks!

The Triads are pretty good, actually. However, the most impressive ceiling speakers I've ever had experience with are the James Loudspeaker Small Aperture Series: https://www.jamesloudspeaker.com/products/309 https://www.jamesloudspeaker.com/categories/30

@dekay The house we bought has Sonos throughout so that's what I'll be using. Sonos amp streaming Spotify, Tidal, etc. |
After reading this "I" would probably just try Sonos ceiling speakers (if your installer can accommodate it).
