So after making a few bluetooth speakers for my friends and got a good response, i decided to make a nice audio system for my dad. Right now he uses a ultra cheap Genius SP-HF2.0 500 (image in the attachment). Anything i do i think will be a huge improvement over those speakers.
He wants to be able to listen to music in 2 rooms, that means 4 speakers. I attached an image of the layout. I have been suggested a build that falls into my dads budget range:

That would mean about 30€ per speaker for a total of 120€ for speakers alone. To that i have to add 1 or 2 amplifiers and maybe a cd player. I think total cost must remain under 150€ or 200€.
Now my dad is not perfectly sure how he wants the system to be so i need good ideas from you, to present them to him so we find a solution that works good for him. He listens to classical music, loudness isnt important since he listens to it at normal volume.
So the way i presented to him my idea was this. In room A on attached image, he has a computer. I want him to be able to listen to music from computer (youtube, mp3, etc.) in both rooms. Both rooms will have a set of speakers and he must control those speakers from the same room (the first thought for me was its easiest to do that with 2 amplifiers that have volume knob included). So far thats quite simple, i simply get him a receiver and connect that receiver to 2 amplifiers. The problem is that he also has many cds. Now 1 option is to just use the computer to listen to those cds but the other option is to have a separate cd unit in room 2, so he can listen to cds in that room. I myself am more keen to just using a computer but he is oldschool and might prefer some other option.
As for speakers on the link i suplied. Pricewise it is great, but they do appear a bit big at almost 7L. Room 1 is a small cabinet, his workplace, full of books already. Would that setup in the link, crossover, work even if i cut the volume of the speakers in half and changed the port dimensions to the appropriate one ? I would obviously like the speakers to sound good, so cutting the volume i lose some bass. I am really unsure how much bass is important in classical music.
Ok, just to not get into to many things at once, i left the amplifier/receiver type out, so for now we can only talk about speakers and the logistics of it all, how to connect, etc.
