We're doing a remodel and would like to install some wall speakers while we
have the walls down to the studs.
I'm not sure about placement of the speakers. Important: we're not
audiophiles and look to spend between $250 and $500 a pair. This is simply
for a music (no TV/ home entertainment system).
The room (if any of this matters) is 20 ft x 28 feet with a cathedral type
ceiling that peaks in the center at 15 ft; the center beam runs parallel to
the 20 ft lengths. 16 feet of South wall will be a sliding glass door. I'd
like to place the speakers on the south wall at about the "x's" on either
side of the slider.
Two questions:
1. Are there wall speakers available to adequately "fill" a room of this
size? Is one pair adequate? 1 pr would be ideal--finding a spot for the 2nd
pair would be tough,
2. How good would the sound be if speakers were placed at the "X's"? They
could be anywhere from 6 to 10 ft above floor level.
3. Can someone recommend a brand in that price range? (I've looked only at
Crutchfield)
Thanks in advance
