I‘m thinking of getting 6 ceiling speakers in my open living/dining/kitchen rooms (total 60m2).

However, I‘m not sure how to place them.
We have no TV in the living room and generally my wife wants background music. However, I guess a stereo setup if possible would still sound more lively. Please find the layout below and excited to hear your input.
my idea so far:

- 2 speakers left/right of the sofa, to have nice stereo listening sound in living room

- 2 speakers continuing left/right of the dining table (left matching left of living room zone)

- 1 speaker (having stereo) in the kitchen (also possible to place 2, but such a small space)

or should I put 4 speakers in living room?

Many thanks

I'd personally wire your speakers, wherever placed, individually back to the Amp location. With the wires all together in that area you can easily (banana plugs work great) try different left/right combinations as well as mono and pick what is best for your ears.

As I suggested above.

A second Amp might be what you need, try one and add the second if needed. Flexible wiring will make that easy.

What do you mean by flexible wiring? I have to set the wiring now. Or you mean, already prepare speaker cable left and right in front of the sofa?
