Look for a receiver that has multi-zone capability. I am assuming that you have a two channel amplifier and not a surround receiver. Most integrated amplifiers have A and B speaker selectors. If you have one of these then the problem is solved. If not, you may want to find an integrated to support both speaker A and B.
Help Please
Ok-
I have decided to buy an integrated. I can spend +/-$1000. The problem is I am installing a pair of in-ceiling speakers to connect to my system in my dining room (in addition to my "real speakers" - paradigm studio 100 v2), and although I have received some great suggestions on amps, none of them have hookups for more than 1 pair of speakers (and I am at a loss to find any decent integrated in my price range that has this so far). I realize I can buy a "splitter," but I presume this degrades the sound (or I would guess I can buy a high-end splitter which will cost a ton just to have music in my dining room). Suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated.
