Re: Basic setup for zoned listening



not sure if I should start a new thread?

We are starting to have a house built and I have been trying to figure
out what kind of whole audio system to install.  I think I want to go
with something that is flexible for future expansion. Since I am
thinking about running cat6 to lots of places around the house I was
thinking of a-bus as a possible solution.  How well does this work?
How is the sound quality? pros/cons/competing ideas???

I don't think I will ever need more than 2 possible sound inputs
(mostly 1).  But I want the ability for the sound input to be heard
throughout the house.  I also want to start off pretty cheap with the
possibility of putting more money in later.  In fact I may initially
just run lots of cat6 cable all over the place and figure it all out
later. Thoughts???

Why cat6 some ask?  Well it looks like cat6 will handle 10Gbit fine
when that comes around and is a whole lot cheaper than fiber (when you
consider fiber connections and all).  If anyone has opinions on this I
also have been thinking a lot on this and am open for ideas.

Thanks,
Luke
