Yes! It's the basic squeezebox way of doing things and it's what virtually every squeezebox user does. One squeezebox per zone, with some form of amplification for each zone. Let me just now question one more of your assumptions: why are you running all the cables to a closet somewhere? Unless you're using other audio sources that you want to share across multiple zones, or you can't get network coverage (either cabled or wifi) to each of your zones, then you don't really have any need for the centralized closet. Why not just hook up an SB3 and the amp right in the room they're destined to control? You could hide the amp away (in the wall? ceiling?) but put the SB3 on display so that you have a convenient way to see what's playing in that room. I also find my SB3 displays useful as a weather station using the SuperDateTime plugin. Seems a waste to tuck them away in a closet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97106 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
