I'm in the process of planning a multi room audio system but am pretty new to stereo hardware. The plan is to have 3 rooms with 2 speakers each (something like this - JBL SP6CSII, 100w in-ceiling) with a PC as the source. Control will be via wifi and IR extenders.
My question is, what do I use for the amplifier? I want each room to be able to play independently. Is there a single amp that can do this or would I get a 7.1 receiver instead? I would definitely consider a used one and don't need too much power as the speakers are only rated to 100w max. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Also, in general, is an amp usually left on all the time? Do they draw much power when not in use?
Thanks!
