Hi, I am building a new home, and will be uprgrading my equipment. Will be installing three pairs of in ceiling speakers in three different locations. Planned on using a Niles Volume control distribution Hub, but am wondering what type of amp I'll need to power the speakers, going through the niles hub, to the niles volume controls.

I have two recievers now, one has two zones. I plan on upgrading the reciever, but want to be able to run all three sets of speaker out of the hub. Will this require an amp? or would I be better off using two pair of speakers out of the older reciever, and run the set in the living room out of the new reciever?

I'm wondering if I run all three sets of speaker into the hub, that an reciever will have enough power to run all speakers.

Any help?

Your best bet is to buy an amp for zone 2. Herre's a couple of good amps for your purposes
