Okay, so we're closing on a new house tomorrow and next Monday the painters will arrive to redo all the paint. Problem is, I had planned on just doing floorstanding for the rears in my surround system, and after doing the final wall-through yesterday I realize the family room isn't big enough for rear floorstanders. Now, I'm thinking I need to hang the speakers from the ceiling (one side has no sidewall where the surround would go, the other surround has an exterior wall).
This would be simple if it was a one-story house with an attic directly over it. Then I could just run the wire through the attic and poke holes where needed. However, it's a two-story with the second story directly over the family room. Who should I call? Will a place like Tweeters/Ultimate Electronics run speaker wire through the ceiling without having to buy any of their in-wall speakers? Would it be obscenely priced? Should I just buy the in-wall wire myself and then call an electrician? Will they have to completely tear apart the ceiling?
I've tried a search, but everything was related to doing it yourself (and with sidewalls). Since I'm doing it in the ceiling and would prefer to pay somebody else to do it right, I just simply need to know who to call...or the cheapest.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
