Howdy,
Our office is looking to put some speakers into the various break areas we have throughout our building. Since we don't want to run speaker wire all over the place (which is many hundred feet anyway) we are looking into sending the music over our network. This is not for high quality soundtracks, just elevator music and such....
Anyway, we were recommended some of the Barix Exstreamer products (http://www.barix.com/index.php?optio...=75&Itemid=182) to handle the streaming audio part of it and they have two main options we are looking at. One has a built in 20w amp for speakers and the other doesn't. The one with the amp is about $150-$200 more than the other one so we are trying to see if Powered ceiling speakers exist to see which way we can save money. Non powered speakers with amp'd unit or the other way around.
We don't have any recommendations on speakers yet (powered or not) and I am looking for any recommendations. Definitely not looking for anything of extremely high quality as the music being played will just be MP3s sent over the network and quality isn't a huge concern.
Thanks for any info.
