No doubt I'm missing something, but why get a 7.1 home theater amp if your intention is to play music through 3 pairs of speakers (one left and and one right in each of 3 different rooms)? They just don't seem to fit. I would think that 'something more like these' (http://www.crutchfield.com/g_324450/Multi-room-Amplifiers.html?tp=7330) would be what you are looking for. That Marantz ZS5300 particularly looks like it has the features you want, although I don't know anything about how good it is. It has 3 different source inputs (one for each zone), but there may be an easy way to use 1 source going to all 3 pairs of speakers. That is, something more elegant than 2 Y-adapters coming out of your SB ;o) And it does have separate volume controls.
