Hi,
I'm building a new house and debating which way to go for the master bedroom.
Option 1: two 6in Sonos architectural speakers in-ceiling on the two side of the bed. This will be a very clean look, since the speakers won't be visible. However, it will cost around $1250 for speakers and amp, plus wiring costs. Since this is a new construction, I can do the wiring without any issues. Assume I would get nice immersive audio with proper stereo affect when I'm in the bed.
Options 2: one Era 300 on the side table towards the right of the bed at the wall. This will be a very cheap option, with Era 300 refurbished units going for less then $400. It won't be a bad look as well, since I have a side table where this can go. However, I wonder if this will not be very immersive, as you would hear music coming from one side when you are on the bed.
Options 3: have two Era 300s on stands at the opposite wall from where the bed is. I feel this will give an immersive experience. It will cost much less than the in-ceiling speakers, but will look less clean, as I will have two speakers on stands now.
Would love to hear what folks would do if they were in my situation. I use the speakers for listening to music. The bedroom is 18 feet wide and 14 feet long.
Thanks
