However we are not really sure if it's such thing that will be used excessively... At the moment we think it's great but will novelty wear off and we'll be left with thousands of dollars stuck in the ceiling without regular use. Can someone with speakers throughout their house give some feedback on whether they are worth getting or not... We are pretty certain on getting them for alfresco area but not sure about living area and activity room. Thanks Re: In-Ceiling Speakers -Are they worth it? 2Jun 29, 2012 6:13 pm I guess it depends, I don't have them so not sure what they sound like, but I would think if you where going to have speakers in the room anyway for tv, stereo etc then they would at least give you a saving on floor space (or wall space if you where to wall mount them) As they point down though I would think they wouldn't give you the 100% top quality surround sound good quality ground speakers would! There are a few home theatre shops around, some of them may have a demo room setup to look at 2 Re: In-Ceiling Speakers -Are they worth it? 3Jun 29, 2012 6:18 pm stormjr I guess it depends, I don't have them so not sure what they sound like, but I would think if you where going to have speakers in the room anyway for tv, stereo etc then they would at least give you a saving on floor space (or wall space if you where to wall mount them) As they point down though I would think they wouldn't give you the 100% top quality surround sound good quality ground speakers would!

The other question is living area and activity room... Re: In-Ceiling Speakers -Are they worth it? 4Jun 30, 2012 7:28 pm We have the in ceiling speakers in 10 rooms and the alfresco and rock speakers by the pool. We have only been in for 3 months but they are all getting a workout and we are very happy with the setup. Slab Down: 2/6/11 Moved in 13/3/2012 Current Status : Waiting for the garden to grow.

There are some really good in ceiling speakers out there for very reasonable money. If you love music or the radio then in ceiling speakers are definately a good choice.
