Re: Multi room speaker configuration

["Craig M. Armstrong" <upzqsse02@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you buying a _new_ house? ie, can you ask the builders to take care
of this for you?

As far as economical, since your music collection is on your computer,
you could get some cheap/free old computers with sound cards and just
share the drive with the music files.

I put speakers in the wall in my house, thought they would sound better
than ceiling speakers.

Either way, make sure you get in-wall or in-ceiling speakers. I happen
to live near Home Controls, so I bought some there so I could try them
out. I think they may have also been on sale at the time. There are
various stores online and brick and mortar stores that sell them, where
in the world do you live?

After purchasing the speakers, I went to home depot to get some class 2
speaker wire (needs to be rated for installation in walls). Don't
remember why I bought it there. Anyway, cut out the holes for the
speakers, ran the wires to the room with the amp, installed the
speakers and whala, sound in the den, with no floorspace taken up :-)

There are some good tutorials on the web on how to do this, and
probably a lot of advice if you search the archives of this newsgroup.
