KEF Ci3120QLM-THX THX Select In-Wall Speaker
These are passive speakers, so they need an amplifier to power them (4Ω, 25–250W recommended). Either of these will drive a pair and stream music from your phone.
Allow about 10m per speaker for a typical run back to the amplifier. Webro 16/2 LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) is the right cable for runs in ceilings and walls.
The KEF Ci3120QLM-THX is a three-way in-wall speaker for home cinemas in multi-purpose rooms. A 12th-generation Uni-Q driver with Metamaterial Absorption Technology sits between two 4.75in bass drivers, giving THX Certified Select performance from a slim wall-mounted design. It works as a left, centre, right or surround channel.

Installation notes
The Ci3120QLM-THX needs a 513 x 163mm cut-out and 90mm mounting depth from the surface, and suits walls 6-36mm thick. KEF recommends a 40 litre rear volume (20 litres minimum). It is 4 ohm with 25-250W recommended power, so use an AV receiver or multi-channel amplifier.
