I need to read through this thread several more dozen times to understand all the details, but suffice it to say, I'll be powering the zone 2 out with something. I'll probably end up using a 12 year old Denon AVR 2000 to power the 7 other speaker pairs.
This forum is truly fantastic. Thanks everyone!
I'll post my final specs when available, after my CI and I have a pow-wow.
