Thanks for the suggestion. I have actually been looking at the Niles ZR-4630. But, would like to find something that is a processor only, not amplified, and be able to use my MCA-20 (2x200watts) to power everything. Does a product such as that exist ??

I am wondering what system would be best to run all the speakers in my house. All of my indoor/outdoor speakers have the speaker wires run to one location where my rack is. I use the ZONE 2 on my preamp running to a Niles speaker selector. But, I would like to be able to cotrol the volume level at each speaker location.
Each speaker location, also, has CAT-5 in the same area. I know there are many products out there (Niles, Russound, etc) where you can connect the speakers to a keypad that runs off CAT-5.
I do not want to use any amplified keypads or volume control modules. The other problem is that it may be difficult for me in a few locations to get the speaker wires to the keypad/volume control module. I could also use some sort of IR repeater, but I'm not sure what control device at the rack location would be the best.
Currently I am using an Anthem AVM-30 with an Anthem MCA-20, MCA-50 and McIntosh MC352. The McIntosh runs my fronts and the MCA-50 runs the other speakers in my HT. The MCA-20 runs the rest of the speakers in the house/outside throuogh the Niles speakers slector.
Any suggestions ??
