I am hoping to set up a system of ceiling speakers in the our home extension currently being built. I am not looking for bass response, just a good clean performance from about 50 or 80 to 16000Hz.
However, the more I look into this, the more I realise the extent of my ignorance - particularly regarding impedance matching, cross-overs, and adjustable power settings on the speakers. I was hoping to run two speaker wires throughout the extension, with junction boxes dropping down to wall switches in each room which connect that pair of speakers (in parallel). I also find a distinct lack of suitable mid-price amplifiers - I only need something modest, with CD and MP3 inputs.
Can anyone suggest a good basic book (or internet link) which would provide all this basic information? Or a recommended mail-order dealer who can talk me through it? Are my ideas at all practical?
Thanks for your help,
Alec.
