hoping someone could kindly help me with a multi-room/speaker question.
basically my flat is wired up with two speakers in the living room, and two speakers in both bedrooms, and one speaker (?) in the kitchen which is open plan to the living room. all the speaker cable comes into the living room where my home cinema set up is. i've never used the speakers before apart from testing them out in pairs with a cheap all in one system yesterday.
what i want to know is if i can buy a speaker switch box and wire up the three pairs of speakers, plus the single kitchen speaker and run them off my amp. i know there is an issue with the load the amp will have to be capable of driving, but i dont really understand this.
to compound the problem, i will only be using my home stereo amp (pioneer vsx-c300 - i think it was the predecessor to the vsx-c100??) and i dont know the rating of the speakers as they are 'in-ceiling' and were in place when i moved into the flat.
also, whats the deal with there only being one speaker in the kitchen. does this matter?
will i do any damage if i connect it all up together and see if it works? i only need it for a house party this saturday so sound quality isnt a massive problem . . .
tks in advance
