What Speakers to use in a bar/restaurant environment

I'm looking for advice as to what speakers I can install on the walls or suspend from the ceiling of a bar/restaurant. The current ones sound lousy, not clear at all, compared to what I would like. There are many 70/100 Volt systems on the market, and I assume they make quality speakers at a sane price level.
I'm looking for mainly background music, but I need the ability to get suitable volume for events like a UFC.

Would it be worth considering smaller home audio speakers for this type of environment, or do I need to install "commercial" ones such as those made by JBL, etc?

And advice or direction will be helpful.

The rooms are ~3000sq ft, with a 14 foot ceiling.
Want to get a very nice quality of sound with low /moderate volume .

Br3098,
As a former Tympani !D owner I have thought about the MMW's, crazy as that might sound to some. I WILL need probably 8-12 individual speakers to get a full sound without loud and soft spots, so to speak.

As far as getting a pro to do an analysis we are located far from anyone with that type of expertise, sadly. That's an option I would try if someone were available in the area.
The Mirage idea is also something I gave thought to a year ago, and as they are made in Canada, like I , it would be a nice fit.
Great info from everyone. Really appreciated.
