    very few, if any, consumer units are going to offer 6 independent zones. a lot of avr's will offer 3. do you really need 6 independent, could you have two/three rooms sharing?

    Taking a guess that you have six stereo pairs, you have a couple of choices.
    1. One amplifier with a six way speaker switch : drawback is that they are always on and would require you to constantly return to the "plant room" to switch them on / off
    2. A multiple output amp (like a russsound) will run them independently, but they aren't cheap.
    3 Three/six sonos amp's with speaker splitters fully controlled from your phone. Again not exactly cheep.
