    Hi,

    I am looking for neat ceiling speakers that will "disappear" into the ceiling, plus a subwoofer and amp to make a 5.1 system.

    The lot will need to have very low energy usage in standby, and be small and compact with "decent" sound. Its not the main cinema room but a sitting room that will be for general TV use, so I'll watch sport and occasional movies but I have a dedicated cinema room upstairs, so looking for a cheap to buy, cheap to run option. Im planning to put the amp next door righth behind the tv under the stairs, cables coming through the wall and IR control by coax cable in the wall, with the subwoofer hidden under a square table beside the couch.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Steve

    Hi RGSG,

    I went with sonos in the end, mainly because I got a half price amp/ player that had never been used. Speakers all from the guys at richer sounds. Loads of other jobs came and went in the meantime so it's still in boxes but should be all fitted in the next few weeks.

    Hi RGSG.

    We can supply various different systems that will sort you out.

    It just depends on what flexibility you need and the budget.

    If you would like me to spec a system for you, just drop me a PM with an idea of budget and we'll get to work on it.
