    need help with new system,

    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?
