digi had it right - he listened and recommended a 12 channel amp with VC's with a retail of under $2,000 which meets MARKS REQUIREMENTS. Mark - If you would like to utilize individual room speakers for a local source like a TV then you can add an autoswitching amp (Sonance ASAP1) for each zone you wish to do that in. Your HT will be zone 1 now with zone 2 being the whole house stereo.
