Default Low cost home ambient sound system

Hi.
How would you implement low cost home ambient system? I want to have
the same sound in each room of my home, and the sound should be
gentle, quiet. For that reason the solution should be based on
multiple loudspeakers, placed in each room. True?

I remember that in one of hotels that I used, I had a radio placed in
corner of my room. It was the most extreme position of whole hotel
space. I observed that I was able to play ambient music and gently
hear it
in all lodgings from that one radio. So maybe the position of audio
source is important?

You've answered your own question, Adam - a decent, clear system operating
in a strategic (central?) position will flood a place with nice ambient
sounds that might come and go a bit according to where you are, but that
will be more comfortable than it coming at you like *Butlins* every time you
enter a room.

Just leave the doors open - it's how I do a lot of my listening and why I'm
almost never bothered by stuff like surface noise when playing 'iffy'
vinyl!!

Speaker positioning is important in any room. But has to be found out by
experimenting.

You want to try living in a bigger trailer, Kitty.
