Cross posted from the Android thread, probably better here!
I'm currently spec'ing a complete renovation of house, so am trying to future proof it tech wise, but on a very tight budget, one of the areas I am desperate to get in is multiroom music, and I think I have found a solution, going to buy all the parts for one room and give it a go, but thought people may be able to spot an obvious flaw in my plan...
So I want to have every room in the house wired up to receive music which sits on a plex server, as well as be able to use things like Spotify and TuneIn radio, and I would also like the ability to set up zones, so I could have the whole of downstairs as a zone or just the kitchen and dining room etc.
My solution to doing this is to use;
A Google Chromecast Audio linky
Plugged into a mini amp Like this or a bigger one in the main living room (these could also be updated...)
Connected up to cheap bookcase speakers Like this which will be updated at a later date to something much better once I find eBay bargains
All speaker wire (will use decent gauge) will be embedded into the wall as it is going to need reboarding, so should look nice and tidy. Main rooms may even have a dedicated 7" android tablet to control the media from, potentially attached to the wall (but that will come later)
Assuming I only put two speakers in each room I should be able to get this up and running for less than £70 a room, unless I am missing something obvious?
