    Hi guys,

    Can you recommend a good ceiling speaker you stock (if any) that are water resistant?

    Wired and wireless options if you have any!

    Thanks in advance!

    hI Flatzie_poo, thanks for your post

    The ceiling speakers we stock would be the Monitor Audio range, starting with the CT165 - http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-11974-ct165.aspx AT €119.95 per speaker,or depending on the room size etc, the CT265 - http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-200878-ct265.aspx at €169

    Is this for a bathroom/shower room? 
    We have used these in bathrooms on a number of jobs and they are perfectly fine. They would all be wored tho, we don't have any wireless ceiling speakers, as you would still need a mains supply to the wireless

    Regards
    Brian

    Thanks Brian!

    Yeah it's for a wet room. Wired is perfect!

    Lastly, can you give me recommendation on mid quality level range ceiling speakers? 

    These won't need moisture protection.

    Preferably one that you can do a Boardie bulk order speacial on (circa 9-10 units)  :)

    Thanks again for your help here!

    We do have an install pack of 5 of the Monitor Audio Pro65 - http://www.monitoraudio.co.uk/products/pro-ic/pro-65 - they are a decent speaker but not quite as good as the CT165 - the pack of 5 would be €350, so for 10 I could do at €665

    If you were buying bulk of 10 or 12 of the CT165, I could do that at €1049 for 10, or for the CT265 - €1490

    Cheers
    Brian

    Hi fellers,

    Apologies in the delay on getting back, but after taking care of other DIY stuff I'm ready to pull the trigger on this.

    Can you give me your best price on 9 x Ceiling speakers with a respectable spec. (Must be able to come in a white finish on the cap.)

    And 1 x Moisture resistant speaker - something just for a wetroom.

    Cheers again for all the help/advice here.

    Hi Flatzie_Poo.

    Speakers would be the same as mentioned above:
    Monitor Audio Pro -65 which I can still offer at the above pricing.
    http://www.monitoraudio.co.uk/products/pro-ic/pro-65

    For 9 of these total price would be £522.90 or 630 Euro.

    Next would be the Monitor Audio CT165 
    https://www.richersounds.com/product/installation-speakers/monitor-audio/ct165/moni-audio-ct165

    For 9 of these I could offer at £783.60 or 944.99 Euro

    For a moisture resistant speaker you could look at the Monitor Audio all weather.
    http://www.monitoraudio.co.uk/products/all-weather

    They are pretty pricey coming in at £250 - £300 per speaker. (They would be a special order).

    Q Acoustics have the QI65CW st priced at £180 per speaker. I could drop this to £140 each.
    https://www.richersounds.com/product/installation-speakers/q-acoustics/qi65cw-st/qaco-qi1200

    Let me know what you think.

    Any questions drop me a post.

    Hi folks,

    Thanks so much for the help with all that. The speakers look great and are exactly what I was after.

    Can you recommend and amp to compliment these?

    I'll have 10 speakers in total needed to connect. Is it possible to implement a multichannel systems to zone the inputs to different rooms at a time?

    Thanks again!

    Hey Flatzie_poo.

    Excellent that you are happy with the speakers.

    On the amp side of things, we would not have anything that can run that many speakers at one time.
    Most of our stereo amps are only designed to run 4 speakers )2 pairs).

    How many rooms are the speakers spread over? There may be some other options depending on budget.

    Thanks for getting back.

    Figured as much from the info I'm getting my side.

    Basically there are 6 rooms overall with speakers.

    Can you let me know the options? Hoping for something other than 3 amps!!

    Thanks again for all your help!

    Hi Flatzie_Poo,

    Unfortunately the only multi zone amplifier we stock is the Denon Heos Drive which will run 8 speakers in up to 4 rooms. This unit retails at £1999. It also has inputs for each zone as well as the ability to run wirelessly as part of a multi zone system with other Heos products:

    https://www.richersounds.com/product/multi-room-components/heos/drive/deno-heos-drive

    Let me know if this sort of option would suit.

    Kind regards

    David

    Thanks for the reply David.

    Trying to be creative here, in theory, could you recommend an amplifier that could be used in conjunction with something like this?

    https://www.amazon.com/Speaker-Selector-Switcher-Control-SPECIALTY-AV/dp/B009LSOXHS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1501832665&sr=1-1&keywords=10+channel+speaker+selector

    It's not the price of the Denon you sent me on that puts me off it, I'd just rather have one centrally-controlled amp if possible... hence why I'm trying to be creative :)

    Cheers again for the assistance folks!

    Hi Flatzie,

    thanks for the post - we would not recommend any amps to run with that Speaker switch / volume control - TBH tying to run 10 pairs of speakers from one domestic amp is pretty much always going to end in tears! Generally we would recommend using a max of a 3 set speaker switch such as the excellent QED SS30.

    On another point - the Denon HEOS drive mentioned above by David is centrally controllable via a really smart app!

    Thanks again and keep us posted,

    ATVB,

    John Mc & Crew

    Thanks for that,

    So is there 2 amps you could recommend to use in conjunction with 2x QED SS30? To provide total coverage for the 9 rooms?

    Cheers again lads.

    Hey Flatzie_poo.

    Seems your post got missed.

    I'll need to look into this for you as again its not a standard type of thing to do.

    I suppose as long as one of the amps had a pre out then it could be connected to another and used with a 2nd SS30.

    Let me confirm this and get back to you.

    Hi kenny,

    Absolutely no problem. Thanks for the assistance!

    I get that this isn't ideal, but set-up wise i'd prefer to keep it to 2 amps. The Denons would have been a way around this, but i like the aesthetics of the wired.

    I'll keep my side too! but again really appreciate you guys' creativity with this :)

    here's hoping you have something that will suit!

    Cheers!!

    Hey F.

    I've done a little checking and one of the first amps with a preout to run a 2nd amp would be the Onkyo A9150 which is priced at £499 each
    https://www.richersounds.com/product/amplifiers-receivers/onkyo/a9150/onky-a9150-blk

    I could get a bit lower on these if they are of interest to you.

    I'll also see if I can come up with anything else.
