I am moving in to my new house next month and looking to fit some ceiling speakers downstairs, probably two in the living room, one in the dining room and one in the kitchen.

To be honest I dont really have a clue about things like this but from what I can see the below looks like a good bet;
http://www.buycleverstuff.co.uk/kb-sound-select-bt... (2 pairs of MasterZone speakers)

Plus points seem to be being able to control it from my Ipad or Iphone and the fact it also has a radio feature built in which most dont.

Has anyone on here got them or similar fitted?
5" speakers should be enough and the above kit seems quite easy to fit + neat/tidy once fitted.

Any recommendations welcome.

Thanks a lot for the info on them.

What I was planning doing was just buying the set as it is, so basically the KB sound select and two sets of their speakers. reason being I would prefer them all to match each other.

Once all wired together is it not possible to turn off just one individual room? So for example we have guests we can have it on in the living room and turn the kitchen/diner off or do they need to be wired up individually for that? I was under the impression this could all be controlled from the app?

Let me know your thoughts on the above.. Once nailed down I will purchase via your website smile

Thanks again for the info. I have a quick scenario to run by you.. I think (in my head) it may work but could you confirm before I order.

The other half has now said she wants them in the following rooms;

2 x Dining room
1 x Kitchen (separate but next to dining room)
1 x On the landing above the kitchen for when she is getting ready etc!.

Anyway, wiring and positioning is no problem for the above. What I am thinking of doing is;

Zone 1 - Dining room
Zone 2 - Kitchen and Landing

I am basing the above on the standard BT Select speakers (two pairs). If I fit a speaker switch can I then have both zones on but switch the landing one off?
So if we have people round we can have the dining and kitchen on consecutively and just use the switch to 'over ride' the landing one to turn it off?

Alternatively if the above worked would that mean I could have zone 2 on but use the switch to have just the landing one on when needs be instead of both?

Hope that makes sense with you?


Thanks again

Thanks yet again for the help.

Sorry, I dont think I made my self clear on the previous post. There will be two pairs of speakers (4 in total)
2 speakers in the dining toom
1 in the kitchen
1 on the landing

For the above can I just order the standard set with four speakers or so I need to upgrade speaker number 3 & 4 (Kitchen and landing)?

I want to be able to play the three down stairs consecutively but have the landing off and vice versa. All controllable via the app if possible but not 100% essential.

If you let me know what I will need for the above I will get it ordered this week smile


Cheers
