Ceiling speaker recommendations

tipperary

Hi,

Recently picked up a Denon 2700 with 5.1 DX2 speaker package from yourselves for a home cinema that is currently being built. I am hoping to make this into a 5.1.2 system and looking for advice on the ceiling speakers. The room is 6.2m x 4.2m, and the screen will be on one of the shorter ends. The building is a 'half dormer', so the ceiling starts at approx 1.5m. It is a vaulted ceiling though and extends to approx 3m high in the centre. This means that the overhead speakers will be on a section of the ceiling that slopes at 45 degrees, so in-ceiling speakers will be at the wrong angle.

I am thinking of fitting a discrete speaker to the ceiling and angling it appropriately. Would a pair of Cambridge Audio Minx Min12 or Monitor Audio MASS Satellite speakers be a good match with the system?

Thanks for the post tipperary!

The Monitor Audio Mass satellites would give the best sound for your set up if this is the way you were thinking of going. They're a great single speaker and are also compatible with the MASM mounts that can be tilted as well to your listening position!

The best to go for would be in ceiling speakers like the Monitor Audio C165 but if you can't recess the speakers the Mass would be a good alternative!

Let me know what you think!

Kind regards

David

Thanks David. For the Monitor Audio option, how much would I be looking at for a pair of speakers and a pair of the mounts?

Hi Tipperary.

For a pair of the Mass speakers you would be looking at 150 Euro.

For the Mass wall mounts they are priced at 23 Euro Each. I could offer these at 20 Euro Each
