Hi Rod/Matt/Other Av Gurus!
Currently in the planning phase of my speaker wiring.
Option 1
At the moment the plan is to wire everything back to the home theater room and use a receiver with 2 zone sound output for the alfresco, the problem I have with this is the HT room is not directly next to the alfresco which will cause a disjoint between the picture on the TV in the family room (adjacent to Alfresco) and the sound playing.
Option 2
Instead of wiring the alfresco speakers to the HT room I'd wire them back to the family room at the TV point there which has benefits for making sure that the video and audio is from the same source.
My questions are:
- Which sounds like the best option to you?
- If option 2, what receiver should I look at it does not need to be a high end receiver for the family room as it is only to output sound to the outdoors. My research so far has indicated that 2 channel receivers tend to be more expensive than low end 5.1 channel receivers so I would really appreciate some help here.
Thanks!
