Robert,

Where did you run the STP cable to ?
..or did you just leave it in the ceiling void with the
intention of chasing out down to a control box if needed ?

BTW, what speakers did you use ?

Marcus,

I ran a line of STP (shielded cat5) alongside every speaker pair for
this very purpose.
I hadn't originally thought of it - and it was my hi-fi shop that
recommended it.

(not that I've actually got around to connecting the cat5 to anything
yet, mind you !!)

Having started to do this I'm wondering how people are controlling the
volume ?

would be a wireless touch screen in each zone that links back to the central
server... bit pricey though..
