[slinkelist] multi room and multi zone

[Dave Kolb]

I love my new Sony DX300 and hope to have it wired into multiple rooms and
controlled with the Slinke soon but want to do this in a manner that I'm
happy with and does not break the bank.

How do folks here power multi room speakers?

Any multi zone implementations you care to brag about?

Not knowing a lot about the electronics part I would ideally like to have
four inputs distributed to between 8 to 12 areas (includes outside) though
I'm wondering if I should just settle for a single source speaker selector.

The main thing I'm after I guess is that the speakers in each area be able
to be turned on and volume controlled independently from the others. I have
some volume controls in four areas now and plan to wire 4 more into new
addition areas and two outside areas for a total of 10 areas.

I've seen a Kustom Sound unit that has 4 line level inputs and powers 6
zones at speaker level. Is there any way to take each of those speaker level
outputs and drive two speaker pair instead of one? I think each channel
drives 20 watts.

Thanks,
Dave
