The original poster may need to clarify but I don't think he ever said anything about needing to control the zones remotely. I think he just wants his new SB3 feeding a three-zone stereo amplifier that can be controlled from a central location. He did say he doesn't want multiple sources, just that the same audio stream in 3 different zones could be turned on and off and volumes changed at will. The Marantz at $799 falls within his 1K budget and sounds like the perfect solution to me. It's the model that I found when googling for a suitable device too. -- ptrainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ptrainer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57836 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
