"Avoid this business. I hired them for an AV, shades, Vitrea/DMF lighting control project with a project value in excess of $100k. After more than 5 months, none of the items except the soundbar work as intended. The shades work intermittently. The lightning controls and DMF took months to get and installed and still there are missing/unfinished items and an electrical control box that is absolute mess. Jeff, the owner sells you on a vision of â  making technology simple â  , however, nothing is simple. Jeff promises to â  make things rightâ  , but a great cost of inconvenience to me and my family living in a construction project for 5 months. The whole project was supposed to be controlled by a Bang and Olufsen BeoLiving Intelligence control that has yet to be installed and integrated. The project management has been a disaster from day one. I had to have multiple drywall repairs and painters come to repair walls and paint after the work was done at a cost of several thousand dollars to me. Save yourself lots of grief and choose another business. Update 11-21-23 The project still isn't complete. They schedule appointments then never show up. The Vitrea lighting project still isn't finished. This project is now more than a year in the making and still not done. Avoid this place at all costs. Others have had the same experience. Update 3-25-2024 The project still isn't complete. I have made multiple attempts to contact the business and they are unresponsive. It is beyond my comprehension how the business can have 5-star reviews. The reviews can only be fake. I have spoke with multiple customers and they have had the same experience."

Multi-room ceiling speaker installations vary in cost depending on the number of speakers you’re installing, wiring requirements, and system complexity. Each additional room increases material needs and labor time. The total expense grows with the scope of the project, with factors like ceiling accessibility and integration requirements influencing the final price.
Installation time depends on system complexity and ceiling access. According to installation data, four speakers take two to three hours to install, while 10 speakers require five to 7.5 hours. More complex setups with custom wiring or difficult-to-access ceilings may extend the timeline. First-time DIY installations often take longer than professional work due to the learning curve involved.
Most residential ceilings can accommodate speaker installation, though methods vary based on your ceiling material. Standard drywall offers straightforward installation, while other materials can present unique challenges. Some ceiling types may require special mounting solutions or alternative speaker placement strategies to achieve optimal sound quality, secure positioning, and aesthetic integration.
Ceiling speakers offer several advantages, including preserved floor space and distributed sound coverage. While the initial investment of $1,000 to $2,000 is significant, many homeowners appreciate the clean aesthetic and immersive audio experience these systems provide. For entertainment spaces and multi-room audio setups, ceiling speakers can enhance both functionality and home value.
