Hall AV solution

[natcot]

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.

I agree, outright sound quality isn't necessary. Good sound with reasonable base would suffice.

It has to contend with lots of drunk blokes shouting at the screen, all thinking they've a valid opinion on the refs decision!!!!

It also has the benefit of a microphone input which you can use to announce the arrival of the stripper!

Now that's a very important detail!!

Located on the Kent coast and yes audio only (speakers and amp)
