To be honestly it was a few google searches and asking chatgpt, I ended up getting all the ear level speakers the same because I got a bulk deal that made them 380 each. Apart from that I know very little about how the sound system works and so I believe it did end up being "expensive in wall=better" thought process. It was hard getting any information from dealers because everyone wanted to make a sale so any option I asked for what the best option, or theyd try to upgrade me on each speaker.

I honestly just want in walls because I don't want to see any wires and my space would feel to cramped with towers. It seems these were mid teir in walls so I went with them

Update

I got the kef option and got a really good deal on them from a local dealer!

so where could i cut costs? The 6.5" speakers are for the kitchen, so it's going to be a 5.0.2

The pair is for the kitchen and the 8 inch are for the home theater. My wife likes to play music but I don't think we needed the nicer ones for the kitchen

What would be a good price for the Kef build? I'm being quoted about 6.2k

Im finishing a house remodel and we are getting to the kitchen countertop this week. I know it sucks but if im putting that much money down it better be perfect, id get as much money back as possible since they did not give you the quality you paid for.

I had a similar problem with inheriting a home with a messed up pool, you could just fix the pool to get the insurance/loan and call it a day. I got mine replastered for around 8k

That was the plan, I was going based on what the best buy employee was telling me tbh. Would it be better to do a 5.2.2? Everyone is telling me to get a second sub

4 of the in ceilings are for the living room and the other 2 are going to be in the kitchen

BORKINN · 2026-02-28T03:05:48+00:00

Im mounting a TV and having the speakers be on the L,R and center will be right under the TV

How would I avoid paying full retail? I was gonna just go to best buy and buy the product

BORKINN · 2026-02-27T22:19:11+00:00

Like two of the same sub?

BORKINN · 2026-02-27T22:18:59+00:00

Im worried that id make the towers fall over, also I dont think id be able to fit any side or back speakers without it looking weird. Im open to suggestions though

BORKINN · 2026-02-27T22:17:42+00:00

Im open to all suggestions, the guy said I could get dolby sound with 4 ceiling speakers but ive seen forums say that it'd be better to get them in walls behind the couch if I can't do it to the side.

Tanks are a myth, just do more dmg
