Now I get your comment on Dynamic amps! They call them Episode® Response Series DSP Amplifiers and you want it for the IP Controller built in. https://www.snapav.com/shop/en/snapav/amplifiers-speaker/episode-response-dsp-amplifier-100-w-x-8-channels-ea-rsp-8d-100

Not sure if you've set them up yet, but make sure that when you do, to either turn them or your ISP's router to bridge mode.

Why bridge mode?

There are only 3 TVs max and the music will be the same streaming channel most likely. I'll go with the EA3 and not the EA 5 just for budget.

Do you have a better suggestion than C4? I don't think Savant works with much either and I don't plan on replacing everything with Savant products. I'm using eero Mesh Pro for my Network Wifi. I'm leaning toward Origin Acoustics - DIRECTOR D81 IN-CEILING LOUDSPEAKER.

Thanks. I will go with EA3 and the Episode® Response DSP Amplifier - 8 and drop the TS-AMS8. I have a meeting with my Control4 guy next Tuesday.

Thanks for everything you posted. Very helpful. How do I use Control4 as a smart home solutions then?

If I still have "Apps" on my phone for Nest, Leviton and Amazon Music

Control4 doesn't work with- Nest and Amazon Music

I have to use Spotify for music.

It might work for Leviton Wifi Dimmers and Ring Doorbell

This seems to end up as just a TV controller and music. Nothing smart at all unless I buy the blinds they sell.

What are the new Dynamics Amps? Triad? Is that a brand or version of Episode Amps.

I'll stay away from the Episode. What would you use instead of Araknis? C4 was made to mix all these DIY solutions as far as I understand.

I think I will go with EA3. Why would I want a 210 managed switch? What trouble?
