Hi all,

Continuing to fumble my way through electronics in our renovation project.

I need a solution to cover audio. I did visit local Richer Sounds who were helpful as usual, but have not seemed to get a fixable solution. Simply what we need:

- Living Room - 2/3 ceiling speakers
- Separate room on ground floor - 2 ceiling speakers

I want to be able to connect these to one amp. I also want to be able to play the TV through them in the living room (at least have the option to do so, not necessarily be doing this all the time, so maybe this could work via bluetooth?)
I also want option to play via a USB stick or play via a mobile phone / tablet - youtube, downloaded songs, etc.

Sonos was looking like a possibility, but I am not sure it will allow all of the above. If I can get away with one amp rather than two, then of course that would also be good budget wise. I saw these speakers, and was going to buy them as a starting point!

Is there a simple solution for all of the above!? As you can probably gather, I am not an audio expert!
