Hall AV solution
Discussion
My sports clubhouse currently has a small TV in it, and the committee has finally agreed to upgrade this to something that allows us to watch sport on a decent size screen with respectable sound. I'm struggling to find a solution that is affordable and meets the requirements of a busy environment.
Someone has offered us a Bose Cinemate 130 for under £600 which seems like a bargain, but I feel this isn't the right solution for us but I don't want to be difficult as any help offered with these kinds of organisations is always hard to find.
The committee have decided that they'd like a projector and screen, so I think we should look at getting ceiling speakers for the following reason
Would still offer reasonable sound experience
Out of harms way (people aren't very careful generally)
Easy placement in ceiling as it's suspended
The hall must be at least 8m x 15m, perhaps even bigger!
So would £600 be enough to get a reasonable sound from ceiling speakers in that size room? An amp, project and screen would all be purchased separately.

Don't go Bose, you won't do it properly for the budget you have. Commercial ceiling speakers and decent 100v line amp will be fine, or some low cost wall speakers. Go 100v line rather than normal low impedance, all speakers can be on one circuit, easily scalable if you want to zone it or add more speakers.
Quite doable for £600 or less. That's just sound yes?
Where are you located?
