Hi there,

Apologies about the delay in getting back to you.

Personally I'd try and wire the room for your 4 speakers at this stage. This would be your 2 front speakers, 2 rear speakers. The likes of the centre speaker and subwoofer isn't too hard to sort. Unless you're planning to wall mount the centre speaker??

What are you planning to use with your system? (PS3, SKY HD etc) We offer many different amps that would work for you, same with speaker packs. We offer very large speakers to very tiny discreet speakers.

If you can let me know what you're after I can look into a few options for you.

As for the kitchen we offer a few mini systems that might work well for you. All you would need to do is wire up a set of speakers and you'd have radio, CD and even in some a Ipod dock.

Let me know what you'd like to do.

Regards.
Chris

Id like home cinema in the sitting room and ps3..that will play mucic aswell,
and in the kitchen/ dining room id just like it wired seperatly for music but i was wondering if i could have this in 2 zones so i could turn dining room off if someone is watching telly in there (theres sliding doors between them)

Hi JD.

Not sure what happened with the PM.

There is a receiver that does allow audio in 2 zones and it happens to be a bit of an award winner too.

It's the Pioneer VSX921.

I'm not sure if this is above your budget, or even if you have a budget, but this would be a good place to start.

Let me know if this is above budget or what your thoughts are.
