New project - audio ideas

[<umar@xxxxxxx>]

I am about to start converting a office/warehouse for my house.

Yesterday Stuart Grimshaw and Chris ? came up to see me in Rossendale, and<= BR> have a look at the project. I have lots of ideas, and I need to ensure I ca= n
future proof the house - hence loads of cable.

My only foray into HA has been a Timer Home Control Kit bought for =A319.99=
>from R> more :-)

Stuart & Chris have been EXTREMELY helpful so far, and suggested I post= here
for further thoughts and tips. They also kindly took the first pictures of<= BR> the house and hosted them here http://www.smgsystems.co.uk/umar/index.htm

My first problem (apart from the cost !!!!!) is how to distribute audio
around the house. Original thoughts included line level output from node 0<= BR> to an amplifier in each room and then speaker wires from the amplifier to the speakers on the walls. I want to distribute MP3 and radio, and also if<= BR> there is a TV in room, I want to be able to switch to the TV signal.

This involves a separate amplifier in each room, and as I may have up to 10=
rooms requiring audio, this could be expensive.  Also control over the=
signal may be done via a Fujitsu tablet, but again this could be costly.
Has anyone got other ideas - using a simple multi-channel amp perhaps. How<= BR> much do they cost ?

Cheers

Umar
