Sonos in commercial environment - High end optical
I have an 1800 sq ft optical space where I'm considering bypassing our existing in-ceiling (crappy tinny-sounding) speaker system with Sonos products (speakers themselves, not a Connect or Amp).
My question is what products and how many should I get? Volume levels will be relatively low (quieter then normal speech, I'm guessing max volume will be in the 30-40 dB range at the very most). I'm leading towards multiple (perhaps) 4 Sonos One's for the main room vs. 2 Play:5's (I'm not interested in Play:3's at this time since it's a somewhat non-updated product at this point). What would be better from a sonic standpoint?
I was also considering adding a sub for this large area, however would this just be a waste in this scenario?
I will use other Sonos One's (or perhaps less expensive Play:1's) in other areas of the office where needed.
I am a bit of an audiophile and cost of this small project is not a significant concern.
I have a numerous Sonos products throughout my house including a semi-complex setup with the (nearly) whole-house audio system (all Martin-Logan speakers, it sounds freaking amazing). My network knowledge is better-than-average thus setting up SonosNet/etc is no concern (I'll run one unit off of a wired connection and uses Sonos' mesh-network, and the system will be on our WiFi network not visible to patrons, only staff).
