    Hi guys 

    Finally starting my new build in the next couple of months. I am an electrician by trade so I will be doing alot of the work myself

    Anyway what I am looking to install in the house is a 4 zone system:

    Zone 1 kitchen/dining/living area (radio/music played through ceiling mounted speakers)
    Zone2 Living room (surround sound set up through best recommended system)
    Zone 3 Bathroom (Radio/music through ceiling mounted speakers)
    Zone 4 2 x external speakers

    I would like to be able to stream music from tablet/phone through the ceiling speakers and I would also prefer a hardwired system

    Any help would be greatly appreciated 

    Thanks in advance

    Kevin

    Hi Kevin.

    Apologies for the delay.

    Zone 1:
    Sonos amp priced at £389.00
    https://www.richersounds.ie/p-100980-connect-amp.aspx

    Running 2 in-ceiling speakers perhaps the Monitor Audio CT165 priced at £105 each
    https://www.richersounds.ie/p-11974-ct165.aspx

    Or Monitor Audio PRO IC65 priced at £

    Zone 2:
    There any many option for this:
    Denon AVRX2300 with Monitor Audio Mass 5.1 pack priced at £879.00
    http://www.richersounds.com/package/system-savers/home-cinema-separates-bundle-deals/pah013228

    You could add a Sonos connect to this to tie in with the other Sonos bits priced at £249.00
    https://www.richersounds.ie/p-10064-connect.aspx

    Zone 3:
    This would be something the same as Zone 1 with the connect amp running two speakers.

    Zone 4:
    Are all the speakers going to be wired back to one central point (Except Zone 2)?
    Is Zone 4 outside?
    for outdoor speakers you could check out the Climate 50's priced at £249.00
    https://www.richersounds.ie/p-11198-climate-50-black.aspx

    Have a little look over the products mentioned and let me know if I'm on the right track/budget and what you like the look of and what you don't.
    Also are there any products you have came across?
