Neter66 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm looking for a suggestion for a multi-zone amp. I currently have sets of speakers designed into the system (kitchen / nook, dining room, outdoor terrace, master ensuite ) but not yet installedEach pair of speakers has a home run of speaker cable (14awg).Audio components that I'd be interested in sending throughout the house:2x AppleTV (stream music)AM/FM RadioI'd like to be able to use a 3 button controller in each zone (volume up, volume down, zone on/off)I'd like something that is preferably network attached, or at least rs232 but that's not a mandatory.Newer features like AirPlay from Apple would be nice, but not absolutely mandatory, as I get the same thing with AppleTV.Finally, would like it to be cost effective. Sub $500 would be nice - and I'm okay with used.Any suggestions?ThanksD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdvr Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 OK well airplay just is being released on devices. That will make it a little harder to find usedl.I count 5 zones with multiple inputs, so I guess you want a built in Matrix?for 500?your going to have to give up on some of the feature that you want.Good luck.Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neter66 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Bump.Changed the criteria - AirPlay is not really necessary, as the AppleTV is hooked up, and it has access to my entire library anyways...So, still looking for a recommendation for a simple multi-zone amp, 5 zones, multi-input. And preferably with a driver already written (Ethernet/IP or RS232 )ThanksD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Pony up and get the Control4 amp. Four zone or eight zone, you can't best either for the cost. $500 won't do it though...sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how much time I just spent trying to save a few bucks on the C4 version versus finding other options in the market.Anyone have a used 4 zone to sell?
