Okay, here's what I'm doing and I'm all ears for anyone's thoughts as I
am a complete newbie. I'm installing premise wiring in my new home
which will be framed by the end of the week. I'm installing Bose 191
speakers in the ceiling of my master bedroom and my office, as well as
Bose 251 outdoor speakers on my patio; all powered by a single Bose
SA-3 amplifier that will be located in the media center of my great
room. In my structured wiring cabinet will be a Niles Speaker
Distribution Hub (VCS Hub 8) and in each room with speakers will be a
Niles VCS100R Speaker Volume Control with Selectable Impedance
Magnification. The SA3 amp will be connected via BoseLink to a
Lifestyle 38 Home Theater system located in the great room, such that I
can play music at any or all of the speakers through the SA3 amp and
control the volume with the Speaker Volume Controls in each room. Now,
this configuration allows me to play anything I can connect or play
from the Lifestyle 38 system. However, let's say I want to connect the
TV in the master bedroom to an amplifier and push that to my master
bedroom speakers? From what I read, one solution is to connect my
speakers to an A/B audio switch so that I can switch from the SA3 amp
in the media center to the amplifier connected to the television in the
bedroom. Does this make sense? Further, I am told that I should wire
the speakers connected to the SA3 amplifier (a total of 3 pairs) in
'series' versus parallel. Does this also sound right? I'd appreciate
any input either here or to andrewpaez@verizon.net . Thanks.
