I got the opportunity to put speakers in my ceiling right now in some of my rooms such as the living room and dining room which both have TV's.
question is are ceiling speakers better than sound bars or not?
can anyone spec me a good set of ceiling speakers and all parts please?
ceiling speakers alone aren't good enough.
for tv use you need minimum a speaker each side of tv and one in the middle of it (centre) so that is 3 right there straight away. then you need a subwoofer for big bass so that is another 1 which is essential.
now you can add ceiling speakers as surrounds so that is at least another 2 speakers. so that is 6 speakers per room plus 2 amps. for a decent setup your talking minimum £5K easy you could easily triple that for a top setup.
it sounds to me though your the ideal customer for sonos. buy yourself a soundbar plus 2 surround speakers for each room. total cost £2k and you can add more speakers as you wish and they will all work together. best things is no wires needed so your ceiling is fine.
also IMO ceiling speakers look good but are usually crap compared to same budget non ceiling speakers so you need to go very very expensive.
with a seperates setup it's possible for a multi room setup but it's far more difficult if you don't have a clue like yourself.
