Default Has anyone hooked up extra speakers for kitchen / patio?

Hello,
I just purchased a Yamaha RVX1400 receiver and Bose series III
speakers. With the Yamaha receiver you can hook up two extra speakers
for separate rooms. I am thinking of one for the kitchen and one
outdoor speaker for the patio.

1. I would like your suggestions on what brand names to go with on the
2 extra speakers from anyone out there with similar setup experience
(My budget is 200 to 300 in total for both).

2. Also, if I were to insert the speakers into the kitchen ceiling
(drywall) and run wires, is that an expensive job I am dreaming of
now? If it is, is there any other ways of doing a clean setup with out
having wires too many wires running on the edge of the ceiling?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you can stand the sound of Bose speakers, anything will suit you.

They won't sound very good in the ceiling. Try to place them on a
wall. For that, you would need "sealed" speakers.

You should watch these flat speakers that you can hang on the wall.
Dimensions are about 30 x 20 cm (12 x 8 in.)
I have heard some of them recently, no bass but a very *pleasant* sound
on a guitar arpeggio and human voice.

PS : I try to look for the link...

Take the speakers back. Get the Mirage indoor/outdoor models. They
are by far the best of their type for $300 a pair or less. No contest
compared to Bose - these are better in every way.
