Sound Amp for 2 pairs of speakers

    Wiring for a large L shaped room. Planning to have 2 speakers in the top of the L, 2 speakers in the bottom right of the L. Use case is we'll either be in one section of the room or the other, and want decent sound when in either. Both sections of the L are about 4m x 5m, 3m ceilings. On party occasions, might have both pairs on, same source.

    We're not audiophiles. I'd like something simple that has 2 zones. If I could plug Google chrome cast into it that would be fine, could then control.from.phone. Ideally the amp itself would have an App to allow volume adjustment, zone 1/2 on/off etc.

    Some of the AV receivers seem to have 2nd zone, but wondering if there's any amps for sound only that fit the bill?

    Why not just a good wireless speaker for the stop and bottom of your L shaped room? Sonos, Bluesound and other speakers will meet your needs and are linked very easily.

    Sorry, just seeing this now.

    It feels to me like the 2 parts of the L will be like their own room, so each nees a speaker pair. On wired/no wired....I just thought while getting the place re-wired that wired speakers would make more sense, and give more flexibility. Plus, wireless speakers still need power, so wireless is not that big an attraction for me, all things consdered.

    Have a look at some of the KEF wireless speakers, KEF LSX II or KEF LS50 II wireless. They are typical speaker pairs with super sound and look great. You can use Amazon, Spotify and Tidal directly on them. And you can "pair the pairs".

    For traditional wired speakers, you might be consider using two network streaming AMPs (one amp for each speakers pair). Plenty of choices out there, depends on the budget. NAD M10, NAIM Atom, Bluesound Powernode, ........ They can pair.
