Hello... just wanted to get opinion on what type and where to place
speakers in my house..
I'm planning on setting up a room for music audio.. the room size is
8.5 x 18 the layout is this

I'm not familiar with audio/stereo system.. so I'm not 100% sure what
type of speakers I can use..
I'm just wondering since it's a long narrow room (will be just a dining rm),
should I...
1) place In-wall speakers in the back wall (8.5 ft length) - wall that's shared with the washroom?
or
2) place 2 x in-ceiling speakers instead that is 6" apart from the
centre of the room (ceiling is 18 ft long)?
Also, I read that there are single speakers that can play stereo (as I understand, plays
both L and R) - is it better to place two of these speakers in-ceiling
or should I place regular stereo speakers (one L and one R speaker) - This being a strictly dining rm and for background dinner/party music, is there a big difference between the two setup?
Also, with stereo input speakers - do they have to have 2 tweaters and
2 voice coils to be stereo input speakers? Or any 2-way speaker IS a
stereo input speaker?
Again this is just for playing background music during dinner... basic system is fine...
I know these are pretty basic questions.. many thanks for your time and help.
