Hello,

I've just finished my refurb and now have speaker cables ran to all rooms to ceiling speakers. All the cables run back to one central location where my coax, sat, cat6 and telephone lines all run too.

I would like to know what options I have for multi room systems such as sonos. From what I understand about sonos is that I would be wasting my money as it's best suited when you haven't got all the cables in place? Correct me if I'm wrong and what components I would require?

Also which ceiling speakers would I be best to install? Don't want high end as I require 16 speakers, just entry level quality speakers would do me!

Help appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks toxicnerve. Yeah just looking for multi room music system at the moment. Music is stored on my mac and external hard drive at the moment

Which components would I require for a 8 zone system? Would I require a separate amp for each zone?

I'll get in touch with VEX regarding the speakers.

Thanks again.

That's what I was afraid of, at £400 per amp, that's £3200 just on amp's. I thought for this money there may be another brand on the market that's not talked about that often?

Looks like I might have to build the system gradually over time!

Haha thanks for the feedback. I just want a simply user interface, so will probably opt for Sonos.

Looks like I'll just have to start building the system up bit by bit with sonos gear and have it grow over time!

Any recommendations on where to get the Sonos kit from?

Next question is for HDMI distribution as I have cat 6 to all rooms but I'll start a new topic for that!

Thanks
