    Hi, have 6 rooms wired for audio all wired back to one area (plant room)
    what i want is a system to play radio and also have inputs for ipod etc
    want to have the 6 rooms independent zones
    i dont mind going to plant room to switch on and off different zones and change radio stations etc

    any recommendations? so much choice out there, thanks in advance

    very few, if any, consumer units are going to offer 6 independent zones. a lot of avr's will offer 3. do you really need 6 independent, could you have two/three rooms sharing?

    Taking a guess that you have six stereo pairs, you have a couple of choices.
    1. One amplifier with a six way speaker switch : drawback is that they are always on and would require you to constantly return to the "plant room" to switch them on / off
    2. A multiple output amp (like a russsound) will run them independently, but they aren't cheap.
    3 Three/six sonos amp's with speaker splitters fully controlled from your phone. Again not exactly cheep.
