Hi. Can you help with with a commercial application please? I need a sound system for my coffee shop located in Texas. I would like really good sound quality yet I need to be mindful of the cost and want to keep it simple. Here's the setup:
* Space is rectangle shape, 1000 feet (roughly 25 x 40). All dry-walled. Polished concrete floor, flat 12 ft dry-walled ceiling. It's pre-wired with Fluid 14 gauge speaker wire in four places, two each along the 40' walls, about 9' off the floor, facing one another. Space has a 8x8 bathroom in one corner so speaker on that wall and parallel wall is about 4' from that wall.
* I have a friend who has Klipsch surround sound for his house and loves it. He suggests four, RP240S speakers mounted on the walls.
* I'm not an audiophile
* I'm not sure where I'm getting the music from. I would like to create playlists as opposed to paying for a music service. Does this mean I use a USB, a CD, an internet connection? Don't laugh, I'm not up with the times. Maybe someday I would also use a turntable input for nostalgia but this may never happen.
* I'd like to have "album happy hours" and other events where the music is more a focus than a typical coffee shop.
* It would be fantastic if there was a reasonable used player that would be effective and affordable.
I'm happy to supply missing information. Suggestions please! Thanks.
