I would not go with 8 cheap speakers. Rather find one pair or make one pair of high efficiency speakers. Plenty of books on how to make speaker enclosures and match the speakers to the enclosure. 'Madisound' has lots of parts and info.
This saves a ton on crummy wiring all over the place. Plus then you have one better stereo amp instead of some cheap home theater stuff.
Locate the speakers so they can be heard perfectly from your 'usual' hang out place. Don't worry too much about everyplace else.
The one thing I would think you might want is to be able to adjust the volume ANYWHERE in the shop. So location of the preamp.. or a infrared remote repeater should be in your budget

- Well, all in all, fewer speakers is better... one pair could be worth a whole lot more than 8 - 3+4=5 13:46:35 01/20/17 (0)
