Sorry for my delayed response. I great appreciate the responses. I think I can keep it to around 8 zones. In ceiling speakers will be just for back ground listening mainly and the main living room/theater is where we can “rock out”.
I plan to mainly use Apple Music streaming, pandora, etc. I would also like to use music from my hard drives that my movies are also on. Planning to use Plex for movie/audio streaming.
I won’t be using the audio in the in ceiling speakers for movies only audio. I don’t think I will plan to do video switching in the future but I am going to run enough cat6 for the future on the off chance I do
with Sonos do I also need a separate matrix switcher? Again any help would be much appreciated
