So, I would like to describe the current set up I have and GET ADVICE ON HOW TO CREATE A SIMPLE SYSTEM, utilizing and adding on to what I currently have.
Currently: 2 outdoor speakers (on a volume dial) on my deck, 2 towers and subwoofer (directly into a 7:2 AVR) in family room, 2 in ceiling speakers (on a volume dial) in kitchen.
I plan on refinishing my basement and adding a home theater and also want speakers in several rooms, all on individual switches.
Plan: Add seperate? home theater for basement, PLUS add speakers in 3 seperate areas in the basement, each with volume dial/ switches. I want everything - the current upstairs speakers and the 3 basement areas, to all be on one wifi/ airplay controlled set up, where I can have them all on at the same time, or I can just turn on the individual volume dial in each area.. and the theater in the basement is separate (not wifi/bluetooth). How can i utilize what I have and keep costs down
My Amateur Idea: get a speaker selector amp to control all the different rooms and use current 7:2 receiver, woofer, and towers for home theater
PLEASE HELP
