Looking to upgrade the sound in my parents hotel. Current setup is a good hifi amp with 2 sets speaker out. They ideally need independent volume control or 3 or 4 pairs of speakers.
What is the best route to go?

Do you have a budget?

The best way to do this type of installation is to go down the 100 volt line route. This will mean a new amplifier and 100v line level speakers. You can add in-line volume controls quite easily for each zone. Speakers are wired in parallel so you do not have to worry about impedance issues.

Alternatively you can use a multichannel amp or extra HiFi amps and wire a pair of normal speakers on each channel. www.cloud.co.uk
