This may be a little off-topic, but this really is about SlimDevices ;-)
 
Let me preface this by saying I am not an audiophile. I enjoy listening to music all day, but a 6 year old amp still "sounds good to me". I can't even tell the difference between an 256 MP3 and FLAC with the equipment I use.
 
Problem: I am putting in a new floor in my apartment, and need some advice for a SB3 configuration.  The floor has three rooms and a deck, so four "zones" for sound. I would like to have separate speakers in each zone, so that I can have separate music volumes in each space.
 
Design 1: Have a single SB3 that connects to a single amp, that powers speakers in all 4 zones. Each zone's speakers would have their own volume control. But, this means only one music stream for the floor, and one centralized control (read: remote) for the floor. And a amp that can support 4 zones.
 
Design 2: Have multiple SB3s. Perhaps one for every zone. Then a small amp for each zone. That would solve the volume issues, and the SB3s could be "synced" if I wanted to same music in all rooms.
 
Design 3: Have 2 SB3s. Each powers two rooms. I would still use 2 amps, but they don't have to have a lot of power and there are only four speakers max that would be in use on any amp.
 
So my question is, what's the best config how a non-audiophile like me? I'd like to balance a simple-to-use, but reasonably flexible system. Obviously it *has* to be based on SBs. I am very addicted to those ;-)
 
Comments? Opinions?
