What I would do in this case is get a good HT reciver 5.1 for the TV room. And a seprate AMP for all the other speakers. John
I have 14 recessed speakers and 2 outdoor.
5 for a surround sound system, 2 in one bedroom, an other 2 in an other bedroom, 2 in the kitchen, one in each shower (3 total).
I need a system that would be able to play the serround sound for the TV area, play the kitchen and outdoor speakers together with the serround if needed.
The rest can be separeted or all together.
Thanks
