Hi, I have a single story double-fronted weatherboard in Melbourne, Australia that is being extended, restored and built next year and currently planning placement of in-ceiling sonos speakers by sonance and would love guidance and advice on optimal size (6” or 8”) and placement for both 2 x bathroom areas (Bath 1/W.I.R and Bath 2/Laundry) and then open plan living (TV), dining and kitchen area.

For the living (TV) area I plan to have Sonos Arc Ultra, Sub 4, and currently 2 x 8” in-ceiling as rears, but thinking it would make sense to have a 2nd pair of 8” in-ceiling more for the dining/kitchen area and for music. The bench that goes from the kitchen through to the dining will have a turntable and was thinking an Era 300… is this too much? or?

In the bathrooms, I thought 6” but maybe 8” would be better and in non stereo? unsure on exact placement or how close could have to shower…

Bath 1 is 2.9m - could have speaker in/near shower
Bath 2/Laundry is 2.9m but then there is a skylight above the shower area, so no speaker can be placed there
 

Floorplan - blue circles current in-ceiling placements

 

Living render - Ceiling height 2.9m with a concrete render
Living - 1. Elevation to Dining/Kitchen 2. Elevation from Courtyard looking into Living


 

Dining/Kitchen - Ceiling height 2.9m at lowest to approx 5m high
Render of outside to show scale




I appreciate all suggestions!
Thanks, Henry
