The pre-construction phase is the perfect time to plan your whole-home
audio system. Our corporate sales account manager Mark knew he wanted
in-ceiling and outdoor speakers throughout his home. So when he set out
to build his new house last year, he planned and built his audio system
right along

It's a good idea to build a country house. Unfortunately, I don't know
how you can make the whole house sound. With a question like that, I
think you'd better go to a company specializing in residential real
estate surveying. I have used

Sounds interesting. Did you find an architect who will design your
house? If not, there are many websites on the internet to find a good
architect or a designer. When I built my house, firstly, I contacted
someone from https://www.boutiquehomeplans.com/cost-to-build to help me
with the design.

Ha! And they are of course far more commonly used these days. I
guess that all that would happen is that the POE box would likely
indicate "not POE compliant"? On the other hand, how many of the

Very much agreed - my otherwise very good electrician had to be watched
like a hawk when it came to the LAN, and he still didn't use the best of
cables... nor did he know how to verify their integrity once pulled.
I had one run that clearly had a fault that rendered it inoperative.
And for
When we had the Big kitchen extension built I had 4 ceiling speakers
installed and the electricians ran the cable to where a hifi cabinet
could sit. But being electricians and not hifi people they did all the
cable to the minimum length so one is 4 metres and two are 15 or so.
Guess how it
double emphasis on @OldMojo points. Contractors left to their own

As the others have said - over-plumb for connectivity!
I'd go one step further and run it all in oversize conduit - even
placing some empty runs for later possibilities.
That way you can easily do new pulls if you have a flaky cable or if
something new comes out.
Think about what else you

But seriously, as others have said, ethernet cable everywhere, including

so cheap to do when you're doing a big build or renovation; and can be a

Amazon Music is not yet solved in the LMS arena.
You would have to use something else to select from it and then take the
output from that as a source into an LMS environment and possibly miss
out on cover art or even song name.

You should get 10 SqueezeAMP, that would trigger the next batch build

Just kidding, they are WiFi only.
Good luck with your project!

Agreed with what GaryM says.
Twenty years ago (actually a bit more) we built a house and I had it
wired for audio in various ways. This was before streaming, of course,
so ethernet to TV places worked out well in the long run, sort of
unexpectedly. Ethernet to the potential office places, which
For new construction or major renovation there are lots of choices, but
