I hate to burst your bubble here, but I think all three of the products you've listed above are not suitable. Basically, the two 'zone' amps you chose are part of larger systems and will not have much functionality, if they are usable at all on their own (they don't have input selectors meaning that is controlled by another component upstream. The Sonance one doesn't even appear to have a volume control meaning again, that's controlled by another component in the system). P.S. Sonance is quite 'high-end' and has a price tag to match. The other product, the 'in-wall' amp, is a: under-powered, and b: English which means it's designed to work with their standard of electricity supply (so may not be perfectly at home in our homes). 1 (obviously) or 2 'zones' is easy to do - all you need is ANY stereo (or surround) amplifier or receiver that has a 2nd or 'B' pair of speaker terminals (as the amp will control all of it's inputs, and it's volume, for both zones). Doing more than 2 zones from 1 central solution puts you into the genuine multi-room arena... Now, if you want an all-in-one box that will give you 3 zones, where you can select between 3 input sources in any of the 3 zones and (natch) control the volume, gives you 60WRMS x 6 (Marantz quality too) which is about right on the money given what's been said already in this thread, and includes it's own IR remote control (which means you can then also run a simple IR repeating system with an IR receiver in each zone if you like), then I challenge you to find a better product than the Marantz ZS-5300: http://www.qualifi.com.au/index.jsp?ref ... duct=50714 Thanks for letting us know.
