Hi all,
So I consider myself pretty tech savvy, but am pretty much a newb when it comes to setting up anything audio. As mentioned in the subject, I've just purchased a home, which has speakers built in throughout the house (bedroom, patios, living room, etc), and I'm a little out of my league.
Each room with a speaker has its own volume control knobs nearby. All of the cables for the speakers funnel down into the basement, where they protrude through a hole in the wall. In all, there are around 10 - 15 wires coming through that hole.
My assumption, at the risk of sounding totally clueless, is that I'll need a receiver unit that will attach to a speaker switch, but I'm not sure which would be best for my needs.
Additionally, I own an Apple Airport Extreme, which I use as the router for the house. I'm considering buying an Airport Express unit to go along with that, so that I can use the Airplay functionality to play my music remotely through my iPhone.
Any thoughts on my setup would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Chase
