Parasound sells a multizone amp and many AV receivers offer multi-room features as you describe.
Multi-Zone Amplifier
All,
I currently have an older AudioSource two zone amplifier driving one speaker in the kitchen and another for the patio. The source for the amp is my main 2-channel setup with the AudioSource fed off the RCA outputs on the preamp.
The things I like about this setup is that I can turn on or off speaker A and B independently or have both on, and the amp has its own volume control. That said, I've been thinking about upgrading it to a better amplifier. Does anyone have any two zone amplifier recommendations?
- Would like to be able to turn on or off the two zones independently
- Have its own volume control
- Ideally have the ability to control volume wirelessly
