Whole House Audio 12-Zone Speaker Selector

Before finishing the basement we had 7 audio zones in the whole-house-audio system:

• Kitchen
• Great Room
• Dining Room
• Office
• Master Bed
• Master Bath
• Deck

The first zone was set up to speakers A on the A/V receiver. The other 6 zones were wired to a high power Niles Audio 6-zone speaker selector.

Finishing the basement will add the following zones:

• Theater
• Bar
• Exercise Room
• Garage
• Patio 1
• Patio 2

The dilemma is whether to replace the 6-zone speaker selector with a 12-zone selector, or to just add another 6-zone selector.

Unfortunately, Niles Audio is not making the HDL-6 speaker selector anymore.

It would be ideal to go with the 12-zone selector because we actually have 13-zones and a 12-zone selector would allow us to continue to use the A/V receiver A/B speaker selector as the additional zone.

Looking at the Russound Pro-12HP.
