OK guys, please have mercy on me.
I just bought a new house, and on the main floor, there are pairs of speakers in every room. Upstairs, in "the bonus room" there are pairs of speaker wires coming out of a wall.
Here's my ignorance. I'm not really sure what this set up is called. If I Google "Whole House Audio", there's just too much.
What I'd like to do, is to connect these to a receiver of some kind, so I can play music throughout my house. Preferably, I'd like to stream Bluetooth from my daughter's phone. She would flipping love that. What can I do? Can I use my TV in my family room to stream audio to these speakers? I really have no idea what's even possible.
I really don't know anything, and am looking for some background. There's probably five or six different pairs of wires. I can count if it's important. What sort of receiver do I need to power this many different speakers, and how does control work? Can I power individual pairs? Can I listen to something in my office while my daughter listens to something in the family room? I haven't cracked the ceiling speaker grills open to see what brands they are, or any other information.
Feel free to give me homework. I'm really looking to learn, and am a little overwhelmed by the huge amount of info out there.
Lastly, if this isn't really the right forum location, please help me out.
Thanks guys.
