Actually not as cheap as they were, a few went for =A330+ on eBay
recently.=
. too expensive in my opinion.

I use a couple as zone amps for Xlobby+Kxdrivers at the moment but if I
exp=
and to 6 zones I think I'll sell 'em and get something a little louder and

less bass shy.

No problem :-) Although the exchange rate is a bit poor at the moment,
that amp doesn't end up *that* much different from a Sonos solution.

If you can sort out source selection (kxdrivers & Creative soundcards
in a PC perhaps?) then 2nd hand or Freecycled "separates"
amplifiers,
one for each zone, could work. It's what I'm running here: xLobby for
source selection in each zone (although zoning not quite working yet,
grrr) with the soundcard output fed to several discrete amps. already
etc. Even my soundcard was from Freecycle :-)
It's not as elegant on the amp side, but if he has a home theater
system that's one zone amp already...

Also, what about the Sonic Impact T-amps that were knocking around a
few years ago. Very small, reasonably cheap but excellent sound,
apparently.

HTH,

Tim.
