Advice wanted for small factor office speakers

We are a custom installer we would recommend in ceiling dual stereo vs running wall mounted monos

running mono sounds bad even for background music.

Audiotroy, in ceiling dual stereo is not an option since owner of building will not allow ceiling mounting speakers. Thanks anyway.

TRIANGLE 

Agree stereo is so much better.  Also, JBL

Totem, Mites. I use them in my office. Beautiful woodwork and sound great. They also have a optional small subwoofer if needed.

AudioEngine has a couple of passive models.

Drop the Pyle barrel bottom crap and go with Yamaha's multizone eco system. Even non-audiophiles have ears....they can quickly tell the difference between a "Pyle" of junk and good ol' Yamaha.

Owner has a budget and not sure if Yamaha is within the overall cost cap. Thanks all for speaker recommendations.

NHT SuperZero's or One's.  Excellent performing speakers at a very reasonable price.

you can sort and search by size, price, power needs,etc. 10s of fields and view diagrams and images at https://speakerchoices.com

if it’s budget you’re looking for, go to partsexpress.com and type in dayton speakers. great sound at a great price.  ( no affiliation )

Gallo Acoustics can be effective depending on aesthetic demands. Less so for budget and definitely not for bass without sub help (also available in a slim wall-mounting form).

I’d figure how to get power to where you’re running speaker wire. If you can run speaker wire you can probably pull EMT cable. The Sonos Ones are very good, no, great for the money.

I installed many in my office/business with the smaller Sub-Mini. Before I was using Monitor Audio ceiling speakers which were 2X the cost and no way would I ever go back. To be able to control the system, set up multiple zones, stream to and etc. with your phone as the remote is a no brainer.

Sonos recently discontinued the Ones so they are being discontinued. Without the sub the Ones sound nice but throw the Sub-Mini in somewhere and you’ll be amazed how good they sound for the money. I’d consult with an Electrician and an Audio Installer and figure it out. 

Thanks for all the replies thus far. After a discussion with the business owner, she wants to insulate walls to see if she can reduce chatter and noise FIRST (before making the decision to add speakers and music).Space is for clinical massage.  We talked about how adding music might change the overall environment of her office and make the noise volume higher and she liked the idea of insulation. Stay tuned and I will post the outcome.
