Re: Ceiling Speakers (again)

["Mik Griffin" <panheadscrew@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Ade.  That looks like a neat job, although personally, I
prefer the curtains to the wall....

I am interested in your raise/lower mechanism - although not for the
speakers as these are in the lounge and (like I said) would only be
raised when I am not in the room to not see them visible.

However, I have some of my AV kit in a cupboard in the wall and I
was thinking of making the door raise and lower automagically.  I
have lots of X10 kit and therefore starting and stopping a motor is
not a great problem.
