I am finally making the leap to hard-wire my living room for sound. For aestheitc reasons, I am avoiding floor-standing and bookshelf speakers. The room is a decent size, say 30' x 15'. I was thinking of wiring four ceiling speakers, two for each channel towards the corners, and a subwoofer for added bass on the floor. I'm wondering if anyone has any good suggestions on products. The speaker wires will run to a utility closet where I will have the receiver. Also, I just hooked myself up to the Sonos system so that will drive the tunes. As far as I can tell, that's all I would need. The living room is only used for entertaining with music, so I'm not sure I would need the full front/center/rear channel set-up but I'm open to any advice. Thanks.

Stop.
Rethink.
Look forward 5 years, or even 2
Ignore your present situation and as solid as it seems.

In ceiling speakers are usually crap, but look at Angstrom.

just buy a receiver and a pair of speakers, but not big box shite!

the speakers sit on stands.

Nuck,

Thanks. I've been looking at those Angstroms and they may do the trick. I'll also preface I'm not averse to wall mounted, but I chose in-ceiling because I'm not sure I'll find what I want. I ultimately like the look of the Bose Acoustimass set-up but I am trying to avoid Bose products at all costs. If you have any suggestions for smaller corner mounted (with subwoofer as well) I'm open to that also. I don't need a lot of power in the system so I thought the ceiling mounts would do the trick with the four corner coverage and woofer for some extra kick.

Thanks.
