Re: Please help me choose a sound system

[Robert L Bass <sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could use a Russound CAV6.6.  It has 6 zones plus 4 "slave"
zones.  The slave rooms use A-BUS amplified keypads to play music
from their respective master rooms.

The primary listening room where all your source equipment and
media are doesn't require a separate zone since the hardware
there will play directly on the conventional HT receiver.

You can also piggy-back two Russound CAV6.6 units together.  One
of my customers did that and added slave zones for a large
mansion in California last year.
