Hello everyone,
This is my first post, and I could use some help. I am in the process of closing on my first house, and after I close, I would like to install in-ceiling speakers through parts of the house, and maybe a couple around the outside patio for entertainig at parties, etc. Basically they would be used for background music mostly, so I don't think I need a real high end speaker for this.
Anyway, there are tons of speakers out there, and I am on a budget as you can imagine. I am looking for the best bang for my buck, and what I can get away with without spending a ton of money, but still sound fine for this type purpose. I am sure it will make many of you cringe, but I am fine with buying off of ebay to save some money, especially b/c of the limited purpose of the speakers, but I don't know what to get. Maybe someone can also suggest a good inexpensive receiver to look at that will have a way to control the different speakers in different zones...ie. play speaker in bathroom, but not through rest of house, etc. etc. I don't know what color ceilings will be (probably just white) so if it is ok to paint the covers, that may be good to know.
I feel like I am going to have to get a new surround sound system too for my den eventually, especially since I plan on buying a flat screen, but I will leave that for another post.
Thank you everyone for your help!!!
