Speakers for yoga studio


I'm opening a hot yoga studio and looking for simple speaker suggestions. Real simple would be a couple of JBL Xtreme 2's, or SVS makes a wireless bookshelf speaker (simple for teachers to connect to with Spotify or Roon) Alternative could be something a little larger or vintage mounted up in the corners. There will be a sub mixed in with the yoga blocks near one corner of the room. Kind of thinking good tone over dynamic slam- it's yoga, but there will be some high intensity interval training classes with a boogie factor.  

Appreciate your thoughts. Budget for mains around $500-800.

How about a set of ceiling-suspended 901's?  They throw sound all over quite well, can crank when needed and come in under budget.

I’ve thought about the 901’s but I’d have to check to make sure they’re not deteriorated which could be a can of worms. If I could find a good set they would be lots of fun.

 

you need durable wall mountable and can play loud enough this means custom install speakers.

Definitely use weatherproofed speakers. Particle board, MDF, even plywood + heat and humidity = moisture absorption and swelling cabinets, split veneers or peeling vinyl. Not to mention what hot 'n humid will do to drivers, voice coils, adhesives, and good forbid, paper cones. take it from somebody who lives in Hawaii several months a year, those conditions will eat domestic speakers in short order. Likewise I would put electronics outside of that kind of environment. Alternatively, use something inexpensive and easily replaceable. A pair of Amazon Studios, for example, Under $400 a a pair, they sound plenty good for your use, plus you get voice control. Several wall mounts are also available, so no cobbling together something to get them off the floor. Add a couple smart dimmers and you can also adjust your lighting for different classes. If you need more bass, you can add a pair of Amazon Echo Subwoofers. And, if one breaks, Amazon can replace it overnight in most places.
