Thanks buzz, how do I bypass the links without still running home runs to each zone? It seems like there is (2) of that 6 conductor going to 8 zones? Unless your saying put a Sonos amp at each mcl2.
Another thing I don't understand, is why how do the volume controls come into play, I'm assuming after the Mcl2 speaker level?
Again thanks for the help, I've been doing this stuff since the late 90's and have never come across it!
