Hi and many thanks to Geoff and all who have replied including those who have PM'd me as they have together improved my perspective of options. The several questions and points raised are most helpful.  The space is now used as small restaurant (about 36 covers) and for small functions so configuration of seating and audience changes depending on purpose and until recently covid restrictions!

Only two speakers installed flush in ceiling at transition with conical roof and all others removed for change of use.  I agree that there is no point in trying to create a "stereo" sound image and so am just trying to think through what would be the simplest mono configuration.  I now only have stereo amplifiers but several available and in various powers.

The cable option is not acceptable so I am thinking of independent bluetooth speakers.  Room size and environment is not likely to result in signal acoustic timing problems and all that is required is background music rather than PA.  I shall start looking at what speakers are available which would fit into the site environment.

Thanks to all,
Budge.
