This is question has been on my mind for a while and I thought you guys would be the best to ask.

Why do a whole house distributed A/V system? Why not have the required individual sources (cable box, sat box, DVD, VCR, etc.) plus the output devices (TV monitor, speakers) in the location you need them? Each location would only have the source and output devices required.

Pros
-----
You can use one set of high quality sources
You can view/listen to the same source in multiple locations

Cons
------
May still need multiple input sources (2+ DVD players, the kids watch one movie and the adults another) to watch/listen to different content in different locations
More $ for wiring
More debugging
More complex
How to control the sources from the various locations?

Enquiring minds need to know.

Thanks
