New here. Lots of great info. Read about 100 threads in the last couple days.
I currently have a Kenwood VR-507 Receiver
5.1 out for my HT and 2 Channel out for B speakers. I haven't gotten a hold on how this forum likes Kenwood equipment, but their equipment has been good to me for the last 15 years. My CD and CD/DVD players are routed through the Kenwood. I also am building a HTPC to house my audio collection and pipe that through the receiver.
Anyways, what I want to do is set up Audio distribution through the house by putting ceiling speakers in select areas.
First, it doesn't need to be hi-end. We're not audiophiles and the home isn't high-end. Music from our laptops is good enough, but I'd like to merge all our collections to the home server.
Second, I gotta do this economically, but I want to make sure I give myself some expansion. I'm starting with a couple rooms, but may want to expand to more later on.
So, obviously I need some ceiling speakers. Not too difficult a task, but any recommendations?
More importantly, how the heck do I do this distribution. What equipment do I need and how am I supposed to hookup to my HT/Audio setup with the Kenwood receiver.
Thanks for the help and let me know if i've let any info out thats needed.
