Thank you all for you help.  I will go with multiple squeezeboxes.  The amp I am thinking of using is the Cinenova Grande 16-Channel:

Anyone have any experience with this?

I also found that the Slimserver(Slimcenter) that runs on the Core can take a feed from Sirus Radio directly over the internet and feed it to any or all of the squeezeboxes.

Users / Multi room Audio

« on: July 15, 2008, 09:49:20 pm »

I have 14 zones of which 8 are audio only.  I would like to be able to listen to different things in different rooms a the same time.  I have been doing some reading and it sounds like the best option is a squeezebox but it cannot play different things in two different rooms at the same time.  All my rooms have speakers in ceiling wired back to my equipment room.

Can I get 8 squeezeboxs and plug them all into a 16 channel (8 zone) stereo amp and have the lmce core recognize all eight and be able to assign each to a room? I will have an orbiter near by each room to control it all and do not care about being able to see the read out on the squeezebox. All the squeezeboxs would be placed in the equipment room.

Can a core or media director capture audio from a receiver and send it to a squeezebox? ie take my satellite radio input on my receiver connected to a core or md and send it to one of the audio zones?

Thanks for you help.
