We are renovating and extending our 1970 bungalow and installing Loxone home automation and full home audio. In this video I cover how to install speakers in your ceiling and what you need to consider. I am using Monitor Audio speakers with Loxone but also cover Sonos amplifiers.
We would like to thank both ‪@smarthomesounds‬ and ‪@Peter-Tyson‬ that we used to help reseach and supply products for this install.
We will be using ‪@loxone‬ for the music source but may also continue to use ‪@sonos‬ for some rooms.
It is important that you check your building regulations if fitting ceiling speakers as you may be required to fit a fire hood to maintain the fire rating of your ceiling.

Hi, You are welcome, I think your site and video content is great. The Monitor Audio units were too good to miss from the other supplier, I think you had allready sold your stock. I still need to buy my single stereo speakers so may be back to you shortly for them.

Another interesting update. Integration with alarms and doorbell, for me, sounds like the correct decision. Not an audiophile, and speakers are generally quite ugly, but why place in ceiling as opposed to dropping cables and using wall mounted speakers that can be easily directed and changed.

HI. While teh ceiling speakers look large before they are installed they blend in very well once fitted and don't stick out. I didnt want to put something on the wall as we are looking for a very clean look, we don't have any radiators either as we have fitted under floor heating. I did look at some speakers that you fit inside the wall and plaster over, there are a few makes that do this including monitor audio but they are about £600 or more per speaker which is more than we wanted to spend. I would seriously consider them if I were installing a home cinema with all of the speakers that requires.

Monitor Audio are great, I have some floor standing speakers I bought around 30 years ago and they sound just as good as they did back then! I wanted to ask, were the speakers you used single channel or stereo within each speaker? (Sorry if you said so and I missed it).

Hi Rob, I still have my 1908's Monitor Audio Studio 10 speakers with super solid steel stands. I got a £1k bonus (I was only earning £10k a year) and I blew it on the speakers. I thing they are still fab but I am told the amazing rosewood cabinets don't meet with the current home design. In the 3 main spaces I am installing 2 speakers per room, in smaller rooms I am still considering it I fit a single stereo or just a mono speaker. I don't find ceiling speakers give anything like a decent sound stage. We only really use them for radio and background music. During our project we have just used Alexa speakers which are good enough for that purpose. In the open plan room we will have a set of Meridian DSP speakers which we have bought used, Always wanted some of these but the new price made my eyes water.

I'd be interested to know if there were any other speakers you considered, im currently leaning towards the Dali E80, but im not able to test them anywhere and really am depending on the brand to deliver.

Hi, Choosing ceiling speakers is really tricky as once you have cut that hole you are committed and can't experiment with placement or change them unless to an identical size. I used Kef previously and I was very impressed with them. As we are installing so many in our build cost was certainly a factor and I like and trust the Monitor Audio brand. I would certainly take a look at Smart Home sounds and if you can travel perhaps visit as it looks like they have a good demo room with a variety of speakers installed. I think Dali have a good reputation, I know someone with a home cinema setup by them. A high end Hi-Fi shop I went to was suggesting Origin Acoustics but I did not get a chance to listen to them.
