Can someone tell me about ceiling speakers?

When I build a new house, I want music in the kitchen. The ideal way would be to have ceiling speakers. I know Bose are usually very expensive, but their ceiling speakers seem quite reasonably priced. My question is whether I need two speakers, or the single one is enough. A single speaker has two tweeters and a 7 inch woofer.

Update:

What I really want to know is whether the two tweeters will give me a stereo sound from the one speaker.

    No, but you don't need it. The speakers are on the ceiling and in a kitchen. Stereo sound only works when you are sitting in one spot, facing the same direction constantly. That doesn't happen in a kitchen. You want ambient sound that can cover a relatively large area. One speaker can do that. And you don't need to be hung up on a brand name like Bose. You can buy better speakers for less money.

    One would be enough for mono .... obviously 2 speakers for stereo.

    Depending how you intend to drive this speaker ... there should be various places you can make a mono feed from a stereo source.
