I am curious what the final system design ended up being. Sometimes this is the issue subcontracting, installing someone elses bad design.

Of course 70v is the right choice for the install if it is one large back yard and there is no need to ever zone or segregate areas. The power levels based on 15w tap min should have maybe pushed the gear selection to a rackmount commercial amp capable of direct 70v drive like a cdi1000. Otherwise the idea to go with 2 snap 240w amps also gives you the power and poss the ability to break it into 2 zones.

I couldnt think of an inexpensive preamp to use especially since the snap 70v amps have preamps built in. Myself, i would have used a commercial rackmount amp and a commercial dsp such as a Symetrix Jupiter 4 or DBX Zonepro 640.
