I am a complete n00b when it comes to setting up a home for complete audio.

I have ran the wires for some speaker locations thorughout the house.

I will have one set of speaker wires go to a speaker distribution panel that will split it to three stereo inceiling speakers that can do 20-100wts.

My question is, do I need to run the speaker wires from the receiver to an amp to the panel? or can i get a receiver powerful enough to handle it all?

If I need an Amp, a 2 channel 100wt amp enough?

Thanks for your knowledge.
