So far, that approach is easiest solution I have available right now. It means that I only have a single source per room (which may be OK since Squeezebox can access all my stored music as well as Internet Radio and Sirius). Due to the open floor plan that we have in our house, several rooms logically need to have the same music source, so I can probably control all 6 rooms with just 3 Squeezebox controllers. peterw;449340 Wrote: > Most of us would recommend that you put each Receiver and amp in the > same room as the speakers -- long digital ethernet runs, short speaker > cables. I have dedicated systems in two rooms we use for home theater / critical listening. Those rooms each have a SB3 Classic. For the rest of the house, the goal is to get the equipment out of the rooms and into a central wire closet. From that room, I am running 12 guage, four conductor speaker wire to the other rooms. Run lengths are 15' to 25' with one room at 45'. (Wire is kept away from electrical as much as possible; with 90 degrees crossing) peterw;449340 Wrote: > If you want the ability to play multiple sources, then you could look at > a multizone receiver (Aesculus has a plugin for more expensive > ethernet-equipped Denon amps; I have an alpha-quality one for cheaper > RS232-equipped Denon amps; both allow Controllers to set the amp volume, > turn the amp off, etc.), or having a receiver/preamp feed an audio input > on your SqueezeCenter host so you could stream miscellaneous audio > sources as 320k MP3. Thanks, I'll look up Aescules -- that is a new vendor I had not heard of. peterw;449340 Wrote: > AllQuiet won't help you if all you have are Duets/Receivers, as it > currently is only usable with IR-equipped players (Classic, Boom, > Transporter).

Interesting ideas for customizing the Squeezebox controls. If I wind up with a system of multiple Squeezebox controlers, I will cycle back with you to explore these ideas. Thanks for the input. -- Craig -- rcstevensonaz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rcstevensonaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7419 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66737 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
