Hi,
I am looking for a bit of advice re installing speakers for sonos. The house has been prewired for multiroom audio, but not very well imho, so want to get some advice.
The main area, is the kitchen/living room, which is open plan. It is an L shap room, but of equal proportions on each leg, two square areas so to speak, rough drawing in the attatched file.
There are 4 speaker positions, 2 pairs in each of the areas, currently just speaker wire hanging down from the ceiling awaiting speakers. I plan to put just 1 sonos zone in the entire area, so was wondering what the best approach would be. 4 speakers is probably a bad idea, so was going to reduce it to 2, and require the location of the speaker cables. The left hand side of the room is the kitchen, the right hand side the living area, and the tv will be located in the bottom right if that makes sense.
If I was to rewire to allow for just 2 speakers, woudl this be the best option, and would it be adequate ? I was also thinking of rewiring for some small corner mounted speakers rather than ceiling mounts.
Any adivce appreciated, particularly with regards speaker type and location.
The second point, is in soem of the other rooms, also with speaker cable wired to ceiling points. Its a two story house with concrete ceilings, so on the bottom floor, there is a false ceiling, with just over 3 inches depth to allow me mount the speakers, so I will need to go for some shallow ceiling speakers.
Any help/adivce appreciated.
Regards,
Eamon
