I was originally looking at some A-Bus Setup, but after reading it seems they are way under powered. All i'm really trying to achieve is a single source with 4 or 5 zones. I plan on using a computer as the audio source with itunes. As for controls, I will be using Apple remote with an iphone and ipod touch to control the itunes library remotely. The only equipment I have at the moment is the computer, so I need everything else. If I plan on only doing 5 zones will i get away with just using an receiver and the 2 channels out? Or will I need to buy a whole house amp? I'm looking to do this on the cheap and although I appreciate great quality audio, for this initial setup it's just not in the cards. Any recommendations are perfect even generic suggestions for what to look for on ebay.

Thanks!

You should post this question in the Home audio distribution forum. You will get a lot more expert advice there.
