Cool setup.
How easy is it for you to play all your zones synchronized or set
different music in each of the zones?
Thanks.

meep,
Sounds like a great set up.
I use a Russound R235LS amp which draws less than one watt when the
audio inputs are not feed from the SB. Then when the SB is putting out
audio the amp turns on immediately and stays on for 10 minutes after
the last note so that if you have a break in the
The main problem here is a number of amplifiers are needed to power all
the separate speakers especially if you want them to be able to
independantly and simultaneously play different music. I'm sure there
are multi-room amps but they are probably at professional prices.

I'm presently building a garage with loft that's going to be my home
office. This is seperated from the main house and I'm not running
speaker cable to it. I'll be purchasing a Squeezebox for aural
entertainment there -(and to ease my guilty conscience!)

For this kind of custom installation, what kind of amps are suitable for
in-wall, in-ceiling type speakers? I assume something very cheap and low
powered would be enough?

Hi - I'd appreciate some advice on creating a multi zone SB/SlimServer
set up please. Having read a number of posts it appears the general
recommendation is a central NAS or PC, a SB3 in each zone on a wired
network, each with a local amplifier and speakers.

I think I encountered the same issue when I purchased a different house.
Most rooms were pre-wired for speakers and all the wires returned on a
central location.
All rooms have wall mounted volume controls.

I use a similar set up to wat you are describing. I have ceiling

Each room with these speakers has a wall unit which is wired via cat 5

But you might want something different playing in the garage workshop,
or out on the deck, or in different bedrooms. That's where individual
source selection within those zones would be nice. It just doesn't
always work well with existing whole-house wiring.
