Re: Run second set of speakers to adjacent room.

["mark90h" <mark.heyhoe@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
My amp is very simple with 5 channels, no speaker switching and a
pre-amp out. Whilst I could use a simple speaker switch for the main
speakers to provide sound to a different room, would I need a switch
for the surround and centre speakers to turn them on or off?

Thanks,
Mark
