#COBOOK SHELVES FOR HEIGH CEILING BLUETOOTH#
In a Gym, do you really need to Stream? A small stereo system with Bluetooth would allow you to Stream from content on a Smart Pad or Smart Phone.

It might be wise to put wiring into a new build even if you don't install Ceiling speakers. Just get your wireless router to recognize the Streamers, and you are up and running. The above can be very discrete systems, though I recommend Network wired, if you can get wireless, that makes installation a snap. I think if you select one of the products at the Sonos link, you will see some videos describing the systems.Ĭambridge Audio makes similar system, as do other people, if that interests you. These are small enough to easily carry with one hand. If you need sound on the Patio outdoors, a wireless SONOS would need nothing more than a electrical outlet. The problem with speakers all over the house, if finding a source and amp to drive them, and getting wiring in the ceilings and walls. The Sonos Play:1, Play:2, Play:3 are complete Streaming system, and I believe they can be paired for Stereo. Today, most AV Receivers have Streaming built in. Plus a system like this can be expanded over time, and there are SONOS (and other) Streaming devices that can tie into a Stereo system. How far you want to take it is only limited by your budget. You can stream any stored content or from the Internet, from or to any room in the house, with very discrete tabletop systems.
Today, rather than old fashioned multi-amp distributed systems, people use wired and wireless Network systems, similar to the SONOS previously mentioned. For a clean finished room, plan on a mess and an expense. In-Ceiling and In-Wall speakers are best done during remodeling, when the place is already tore up.
To what extent things need to be tore up depends on your specific circumstance. This typically requires tearing up the wall and ceiling to get the wire in. Assuming your ceilings are workable, you have to give serious consideration as to how you get speaker wire from the speaker back to the amp. Though you might have realized this already, I like to remind people that In-Ceiling speakers don't magically appear in the ceiling.
