Does anyone have experience with the various A-Bus whole house systems? I am building a vacation home and would like to put speakers for background music in several rooms and the patio. It seems like a good inexpensive way to go as the entire system is wired with Cat-5 cable.
Here is one:

Or I could do a Bose Lifestyle, but they are somewhat expensive for what you get.
Lastly a conventional rack system with a separate amp and speaker selector for the various zones. I have one of these in my house now and they do have good sound but can get expensive and are not user (wife) friendly.
