Powering nine home speakers
No they’re two dedicated amps. Would I be better putting 5 speakers on one amp and four on the other to more evenly equalize the power?

Great idea! How’d I miss that? ;)What is the point of the switch in this case? I’ll always want all 9 playing at the same time so is a switch necessary?

Hifiman, can I ask how you would recommend wiring the 9th speaker? It seems like I could run 3 in parallel which would be 2.66 ohm. My onkyo amp specs are 8/4/3 ohm. Is the difference significant enough?i also just received a second amp that is 10...

Your parents raised your parents raised a considerate and compassionate son Tim. They should be proud.

Thanks again hifiman. Currently everything is home runned back to the atm7. So each output from the atm7 connects directly to the speaker. So with nine speakers does that mean I’m somewhere around the 1-2 ohm load? I’m going to study impedance ohm...

Thanks Tim. This is just to fill the room. I have a dedicated theater already properly configured plus a recording studio so they’re very different goals. Take care

Thanks again. Can I ask what’s the risk if the impedance doesn’t match (ie using the current speaker selector and a second amp)? Harm to the equipment or just uneven sound? Happy thanksgiving.

Thanks imhifiman and Erik. In the case of the speaker distribution controller , in this arrangement would I get rid of the ost audio unit? And would I simultaneously run front I/r from the onkyo speakers to the controller and the pre-amp outs out ...

No movies. Just music. What is a pro/distribution set up?

All 9 are installed in the ceiling. Goal is just more power going to the 9. The amp is 7.1 capable but the total wattage is insufficient to drive all 9.
