Speakers for office
Hey guys, am wondering if, in an office environment, dual tweeter 2 channel stereo speakers would work well. The idea is to have 6 of these speakers throughout the open office space for background music. I'll have a Sonos Connect as the source connected to a Dayton Audio MA1240A 12-channel amp.

Yes you idea will work very well in that environment. Try to aim the tweeters so that they are oriented left and right sides to the majority of the seated persons (not critical at all but makes for a more pleasing sound.)
Make sure ALL speakers are "phased" correctly (connected plus and minus correctly) to avoid weird echo-like effects between speakers.

We put in a speaker system at the courthouse a couple years ago - it was a night/weekend job so we had the whole building to ourselves. We blasted death metal through it. Sounded great. Bogen speakers I believe.

The AR has been completed for a while, thoroughly enjoying it. After a while, shooting 4-500 rounds into a paper target gets old, so I started trying my hand at longer range stuff.... 600 yards pretty effectively with the AR in .223. 600 yards got kinda boring, so I bought a 30-06. Got pretty into it, but then my wife told me I needed to buy her a new car, so, of course, my hobbies are now on hold

Thanks  This isn't my usually ball of wax.... I found out / realized last night that I need to use CMP or CL3 speaker wire as the drop ceiling is a plenum. That's gonna make the price go way up. This is my wife's new office and I REALLY wanna do it, if for nothing else, the experience..... So, I'm trying to keep the cost down. CL3 isn't helping...

You have most of the speakers in the hallways or open areas, but one speaker directly over a cluster of cubicles.
This may be a problem with the workers since it may not seem like background music and be distracting when on the phone.

Interesting looking amplifier. Most commercial installs tend to use 70V, though.

I have redesigned the system based on what you guys have said. Went with a 70v mono system for the background music, with 7 speakers, and a sonos connect for the source. Then, an 8 ohm system for the training room with a Mac mini as the source. Speakers are way cheaper, WAY less wire, components are cheaper..... Everyone wins.

Excellent! That is what 70V systems are designed to do.
Let us know how it turns out!

Just sent the bid..... I helped the guy move 30 desks last week during their office move, and my wife is the office manager, so, I'm hoping it's in the bag.... Pretty excited for the opportunity.

95% finished. Got the background music finished last night, built the rack and connected the amps. Just waiting on some audio baluns to come in for the Mac mini.
Thanks for your help guys! Here's how it came out. I'm excited, good experience, new products/methods for me, and it all worked perfectly.
