1. I would want great sound in my:
Living room
kitchen / Dining Room, Office, Bedroom #1, #2, #3, Bathroom, and the back porch.
2.The audio in the other rooms will come from an offshoot of my main media source, computer / Internet or off of the main signal.
3.The speaker type would be an in wall speaker or a good bookshelf speaker that can be mounted to the wall. I already have the ports for the volume control and speaker. I just haven't decided what to put up.
