We added them as part of a remodel. They’re connected to an amp that has an echo on line in. We use Alexa to control what we listen to. It’s decadent but sounds great and easy to operate. Highest Wife Acceptance Factor score to date for me.
>there are ceiling speakers designed for high moisture areas/bathrooms. Not marine speakers, but ones designed specifically for what you are doing.
Kohler's Soundtile Speakers are the only in-ceiling speakers that I can find that are designed for a bathroom. These speakers are polished chrome and are beautiful, but, at over $300 a pair, that's more than I am willing to spend on 2 speakers. Plus, they're only 4''.
I searched Amazon for "bathroom speakers", and all I got was the small, portable-type speakers, or exhaust fans/showerheads with a built-in speaker. I also searched Amazon for "moisture resistant speakers" and "wet rated speakers" and got nothing. It seems that my only option for in-ceiling speakers (at least on Amazon) are marine speakers?
>If your source is a desktop PC and located near the room where you're listening, save yourself a TON of headaches and just pull your speaker wire back to that space.
I will look into this solution (i.e., a hardwired input).
>You just aren't going to get proper stereo imaging in that environment. You'll hear "half the music" (only slight exaggeration) with stereo from most locations in that space.
I will only do one speaker per room, per your advice.
Just out of curiosity, do you mind explaining why I wouldn't get proper stereo imaging in my bathroom, and why I'd only hear half the music?
I don't understand why stereo speakers will fail miserably in this space. I mean, how is this much different than speakers in a car, or stereo USB computer speakers in an office, or stereo speakers literally anywhere else?
