We have a tiled, rectangular open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area measuring about 6m x 14m and I am thinking to place either a Beosound 35 (if I can find one), a Beosound Stage (vertically), a pair of Beolab 3's or even a Naim Mu-so 2 on the console behind the sofa facing into the rest of the dining and kitchen area to fill this space predominantly with music transmitted using airplay function.  Looking for subtle but detailed background music while dining or cooking from a minimalist form.

I feel that the spatial width any of these devices could deliver would be an improvement on the surround sound setup I have in the lounge.  This I find sounds too restricted and muffled in the kitchen and diner due to the fact that it sits behind a large leather lounge.  Interested to hear the forums opinion on these ideas.  BTW - getting a low rise sofa is not an option 😁
