So, we moved into new house in Feb. Now have a new bathroom and PC room will be finished soon.
Looking at adding a ceiling speaker to bathroom, likely one in the kitchen and likely add some speakers / amp to the Livingroom. (Main speakers in bedroom)
So looking at having the same music in the Bathroom / kitchen / bedroom.
They are all next to each other and cabling into ceiling is doable - Can get a 100m roll of decent copper cable.
Am I best just getting an amp with Zone2 and 3, wiring up the kitchen and bathroom to the main amp in the bedroom and having it all done from one place?
Looking at multi room (on the cheap using chromecasts) but if we are already using JRiver as a media player, I don't see the benefit versus just having speaker wire into a brushed socket in the wall going to bathroom/kitchen from the bedroom.
Means no need to login to a new app, can use existing setup and just adjust which zone is active at any one time.
Would ideally want volume adjustable for kitchen/bathroom independently from bedroom though.
Also Amps with Zone 2 AND 3 seem relatively rare so limiting choice somewhat.
So my question is do I:
1 - setup a form of multi-room
2 - Get an amp with Zone 2 and 3
3 - Get an amp with 1 additional Zone and use Pre-outs for a separate amp in kitchen
Thanks
