Speakers for Coffee Shop


This may have been addressed before, but I am looking for a setup for a coffee shop. Doesn't have to be new. I have a pair of KLH6 at home that I was going to use, but the lady nixed that.

I will be playing vinyl and digital media. I will need a receiver and speakers, and would rather not spend more than $2000-2500 all told.

Thanks very much in advance.

Hi Aiasthewall

A local Chipotle used Mirage OmniSat V2 speakers throughout the place and also mounted the sub in the ceiling. The amp I believe was from Niles. The sound is fine and not too loud unless someone in the back cranks it.

Woot has the Mirage Omni speakers on a very good sale price right now and they look great IMO.

Best of luck in the search.


If you want great bookshelves that either work well close to the wall AND are also wall mountable with ready-made brackets ....

REGA R1/RS1

See Stereotimes review

" .... The Rega R1 becomes my new budget reference speaker. In addition of its ability to get the fundamentals of music right, it adds clarity and resolution, and an ability to lay out a vivid and coherent 3-dimensional stereo image. In small room applications, what more could you want?..."
Hi, Where do you want the music to be heard? Everywhere, or just in certain areas? Do you want the speakers to be visible for esthetic reasons, or are you more interested in functionality? There are many good commercial speakers that are designed to be either surface or flush mounted. Is it just for background music, or is a microphone used as well, or are there ever live performers? If it is just background music, you can just use what sounds good to you. If you have these other needs, or would like to, let me know and I can suggest some options. I agree that vinyl in a coffee shop sounds pretty cool, I have not seen that in a really long time!
