[MartinM1]

wright guys need some advice please. i want to install a home entertainment system in the living room with the option of playing music ans listen to radio in other rooms, but iam not to impressed with the sound qaulity or appearance of the philips system so what next.

Retrofit or part of a refurbishment?

[MartinM1]

want to start from scratch so all new

I rather meant the fabric of the property itself.

i.e. do you have the opportunity of wiring the property to cater for the multiroom system?

[MartinM1]

yes can do all wiring builders just finishing going to install before decorating

[Plotloss]

Ahh right, then you have many many many options.

How many rooms do you want to deliver music to and how many different sources of music would you like to deliver?

Is multiroom video a consideration? If it is, standard definition or high definition?

We're in this business and depending on where you are in Hampshire not that far away from you either. Would be happy to look at your project.

You can do two supplementary zones from a high quality home cinema amp.

Beyond that you're looking at a multiroom system of some sort, either distributed amplification (amplified keypads) or centralised amplification. The former is cheaper but not quite as high quality, the latter is more expensive but you have quality options from the merely much better up to exceptional.
