Thanks folks. I'm going to recommend a good quality integrated going through the switching box. I appreciate the info.
Dumb Multiroom Question
Hi All:
My friend has an old Adcom GFA555 that he runs through a speaker switching box that allows him to play five different pairs of speakers throughout his house. The amp is tired and about to blow so he wants to replace it and asked me to help. I'm wondering: rather than buy another two channel amp to run through the switching box could he instead use a five channel home theater amp and hook each pair of speakers up directly to the back panel of the amp? I know the outputs are for fronts, center, surrounds, etc but if he went this route would he get equal sound levels from all five sets of speakers while playing two channel music? I know this is a dumb question but I know nothing about home theater equipment. Thanks for the assistance.
