Has anyone here had experience with flush-mounted ceiling speakers and a TV installed in a bathroom?
There are special "bathroom TVs" available, but they are very expensive and have poor reviews. A friend has one of those TV mirrors, but it turns out to be a poor TV and a poor mirror—so it’s neither fish nor fowl. That’s why I’m considering installing a regular, affordable TV in the bathroom. The risk would be that it might fail after 3 to 5 years, but with an investment of about 300–400€ (approx. 320–430 USD), that would still be acceptable.
Are there any recommendations for flush-mounted speaker systems?
By the way, the house has a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery, and the exhaust vent will probably be located between the shower and the whirlpool, so most of the humid air should be extracted.
Further details can be found in the attached floor plan!
P.S. The necessity of having a TV in a bathroom can certainly be debated, but it should be mentioned that the bathroom will have a whirlpool and is intended for longer stays.

whether it makes sense to install a standard, inexpensive TV in the bathroom. May I ask what the purpose of that is? Is it (mainly) a men’s thing? Don’t get me wrong, I can imagine watching TV occasionally. But I simply wouldn’t have the time, since my husband and I usually do other things in the bathroom... It doesn’t seem worthwhile. And when taking a bath, we’re actually happy to have some quiet without any background noise.
Thanks in advance for any insights 🙂

JoachimG.16 Jan 2021 19:11I can provide my feedback on this. If anything, I use it in the bathroom in the morning to watch the news. Otherwise, it’s more like wall decoration. I had thought about it differently before. It works perfectly and suits the conditions well. However, I wouldn’t spend the money on it again.

I actually want to watch TV while bathing (non-linear). For me, that's relaxation. Reading is also possible sometimes, but it's a bit more tiring.When it comes to the wall mount, especially if the TV is mounted higher, please make sure to have a strong downward tilt angle. The soundbar also needs to be tilted. This is because the viewing angle and sound are usually not optimized from below...
