    Hi Guys,

    It's finally coming to the point where we start buying the goodies for the house.

    Firstly, here a little walkthrough of the system we have provisioned for:

    - Media server running SageTV upstairs with CAT6 outlets at media points around house.
    - In the open living area we will a sageTV box streaming content over cat6. There will be 5.1 sound here.
    - The sitting room will be similar to the living area but with regular TV audio output and 2 channel in ceiling speakers.
    - The kitchen (part of open living area) will have two ceiling speakers for listening to audio.
    - There will be wireless headphones so two people can be in open living + kitchen listening to different sources.


    Now, this is where i'm stuck on. Is there a single unit that can handle all of this? i.e. 3-4 sources with 4 outputs. Where you can map an output (zone) to any source or map all zones to one source? Or will we need an A/V receiver and a seperate multi zone amp?

    Also, i'm going to be looking for some decent ceiling speakers and a 5.1 systems. Any advice on good sources for these would be great.

    Thanks in advance.
