Our new conservatory build is coming on well now, so I'm at the audio install stage :D
We have had a 3.6 x 5m room added, with "Lounge kit" option that installs a pelmet around the top, which is ideal for down lighting and I thought speakers :cool:
Which the wife "signed off" without much effort.... You can just see the marking out I've done....
Debated a while as what to install, either some Linn 106C or these KEF Ci200QS units....

In the end went for the KEF as they have a larger (8") driver and lower frequency response. getting any bass from an in-wall I'm assuming is a challenge anyway.

They seem quite nicely made units, with some of KEF's later tweeter tech in them..so fingers crossed.

I'll be stuffing the space behind the speakers with a mixture of Rockwool slabs and acoustic foam.

The room has speaker cables plumbed in ready behind the plaster board and CAT6 network hooked up and working all ready for a future streamer.

Plan to get them working with my old Inca Tech Claymore amp and a DAC or CDP to gauge how it all sounds.
When I'm happy with it I'll drop a integrated streamer in to link in to the house network and current system.

Will be a few weeks before the furniture and sofa etc arrives and blinds for the side window, so it will be a while before I know how it will works out..
 
update, all done, room furnished which makes a huge difference. Sound wise pretty good, clarity and detail is very good, bass isn't bad, but will alway be limited without a proper tuned cabinet. Will experiment with different electronics to decide where to pitch it.
