We are renovating our third floor and I'm thinking about how to put another squeezebox in our home.
The floor will be essentially one large room divided into two sections--a tv/home theatre on one end and a recreational area on the other end. I'm open to suggestions but currently I'm thinking of using one amp to do 5.1 sound on the TV end and to drive two ceiling speakers on the rec room side. Seems that there are moderately priced amps (~$500-700) that can provide for two zones like this. I'm open to amp suggestions. To get to the title of this thread ("touch in different room than amp"), what's the best way to get the audio signal from the touch into the amp? Is digital optical or coaxial better for a distance of, say 6-8 m (20-25 ft)? Do most amps in my price range accept both? Last, what's a good forum for me to ask questions about speaker placement for my modest home theatre? I want to know the best positions for the rear speakers in the 5.1 given the limitations of my space. Also what to look for in ceiling speakers--which one to buy, installation tips for good sound etc. Greg -- greg from winnipeg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ greg from winnipeg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10924 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70265 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
