Building new home and want to incorporate a theater system with in wall or in ceiling speakers. Planning on 5 theater speakers, speakers in kitchen, mst. bedroom and outdoor pation. Suggestions please!
I am most looking for suggestions for the in wall / in ceiling speakers, which would be the fronts and surrounds. Also speakers for kitchen and bedroom, which I also want in wall or in ceiling. Budget about $1,000 total.
Niles Audio has multiple price points and make great products. They also make volume controls and speaker selectors. The volume controls are important due to differences in room size and acoustics.
The selection of in-walls is so broad, you have to spend time listening and evaluating. Ensure you understand the room and placement of the speakers for for casual or critical listening.
SpeakerCraft CRS8 In-Ceiling (Home Theater Rear) Comments: Like the pivot tweeter...I don't have the speakers right on top of me so the sound is more natural for background details like doors being opened and footsteps. With the pivot tweeter you don't have to be picky with speaker placement.
Monitor Audio W265 In-Wall (Kitchen) Comments: Big speaker with pretty good soundstage and bass. Kitchen can get crowded during parties so the sound gets filtered a bit.
NOTE: Good cable is required for In-wall or In-ceiling because the runs will be pretty long.
