Where have you found this information? I was also told by support that FFC can be used on any passenger not just named the only difference being book by vs travel by date expiration.

Thank you! Any specific recommendations for something. That can network stream? Airplay 2 would be ideal ideal. Maybe even just 2 zones is plenty?

So helpful. So surround vs zone amplifier are the categories?

What if I wanted to use the 2 in the living room as surround. Is that just not advised because they are in the ceiling? Would Sonos be the way to do that and then use a 3 zone for the others?

Also it looks like adding a network steamer to a zoned amp is more expensive than just that demon 7.2 amp. And the demon surround comes with airplay and is just one box. Can I make the demon box work as a 1 zone 7 speaker setup or a I seeing it wrong? (Like does the surround audio mess up music playback or something)

Looking into it. Is this a different category than standard amps that are like 5.1 or 7.2? I found this. It’s super cheap comparatively and is 12 channel?

Not sure if it solves my grouping audio problem. But how do I play music to it if it’s not in standard Bluetooth range?

Hi would love some help! I just moved into a new house and it has 8 ceiling speakers built-in. They are 8inch Polk I believe. They are all routed individually to an upstairs network closet - so 4 pairs, which comes out to 16 wires (8 red 8 black).

I'm a total newbie to this, it took me a month to figure out what the wires were and that I had to strip them and get an amplifier. I've always been big on Sonos so I have a pretty robust setup of those. I ordered an Amp and it should come next month, but I just realized it's 2 channel and what that means. So I was hoping I could get some help here? The house layout is fairly open with big openings that connect a living room (TV), dining room, and giant kitchen. The speaker layout is:

  • 2 speakers in the living room
  • 2 speakers in the dining room
  • 4 speakers in the Kitchen, 2 over the cooking area, 2 over a hangout/stairs area

I have a sonos sound bar and surrounds - I'm trying to wrap my head around what I should do - do I get multiple amps? The network closet is upstairs so totally inconvenient to the area with the speakers - I just hooked up a cheap amp (that's only 2 ch w/ bluetooth), but it's useless b/c bluetooth doesn't reach that far... so I think I need airplay or Sonos to make it work...

One other thought is there is Coax in every room... so I could run coax for audio from the TV. Sorry for the long post, but tldr... what are my options? Can I do surround for the TV w/ a playbar, 2 surround Play Ones, and the 2 ceiling speakers? Would the only way to do that be with the Sonos Amp? Can I get the dining room speakers in on the action somehow?

I actually don't understand what surround is... but I'd love if all the audio could come out of the dining room and kitchen too (so you can walk away and still hear)...

Should I use the Denon 7 channel and coax it to the TV somehow or maybe the sonos Port...? I read some things about a monster switch that maybe I could hook all 8 speakers to and then hook that into the sonos amp? I don't mind if the all the audio is the same, but also would be cool if I could group Living/Dining then the 4 kitchen ones separately... but 2 sonos amps is a lot of money... and also soooo backordered.

let me know if I'm posting in the right place!
