Bathroom speakers

    Just wondering if anyone can recommend speakers that would work well in a bathroom. Something that can deal with moisture.

    Would it be best for ceiling mounted, wall mounted or low floor standing ones?

    I already have nice Monitor Audio speakers, so was thinking of sticking to that brand, or even looking at Bose, unless others recommend better.

    As most bathrooms have hard (reflective) surfaces, you might want to look for something that's not too bright.
    As for Bose, they are great in a bathroom, but only when inserted in the toilet bowl.... their true home.

    I ended up going with Monitor Audio, C380fx - http://www.monitoraudio.co.uk/products/ci-series/300-series/c380-fx/

    I still have to mount them. A little nervous of cutting the 8 inch hole in the ceiling.

    Any advice???? :eek:

    Don't be nervous..... use a stud finder to locate joists, then use a plasterboard saw/knife and make the hole just a few mm's smaller, hone back with a rasp or something similar till you have a comfortable fit.
    Just take your time and it will be fine.

    I decided it's easier to cut from the top (from in the attic). I know where I'll position the speakers and have the cutout marker for the speakers.

    So, a matter of making the mark, and then cutting through.

    I'm sure it'll be fine, eventually.

    Easy if you drill 5-6 holes and just join the dots cutting the hole with plaster saw. You should post a few pictures :)

    If you go from the attic down its more likely the plaster will chip around the hole, the lip of the speaker should cover this but not always.

    8" is a big old speaker, usually go with 6.5" in bathrooms and even mono for smaller ones
