We spent about $2k for a controller and maybe 12 speakers for our 2,000 sf first floor open space, and put maybe 3 in our upstairs quiet zone. Later we went back and added one in every bathroom, phone room, and conference room, and some of the offices. Each speaker was maybe $100 in the second round of purchases. We added them to the small rooms because the door of a phone room or bathroom ends up screening out the white noise, but not the conversation, leading people to believe (mistakenly) that their private conversations and bathroom noise is heard outside by others (which it's not). Psychology is everything!
