Multi-Room Audio
In our new build I want to toy with the idea of multi-room audio. Not interested in multi-zone or whatever we used back in the 80s and 90s. At most this will be to wirelessly play Spotify while on the porch, maybe put some music on in the garage workshop, and maybe in the kitchen area. It’ll be 100% streaming based, no analog sources or anything else.
Thinking about rack mounting a couple of WiiM Amps in the network closet and having builder wire out 14 gauge speaker wire to the identified rooms. At least with the speaker wire run and CAT5/6 to all the rooms we would have flexibility for the future.
My office setup would be standalone with my bookshelf KEF or Magneplanar. And living room will be standalone unless we want to get fancy. But with the kids it is Bluey and Paw Patrol and Super Simple. So no need for 12.2.5 Atmos.
Any other alternatives? Don’t want a $10k setup for this. Other priorities with the build.
