What is a modern multizone audio amplifier working with CQC? I am looking for a system that has multiple audio zones that I can send audio out to. Something like the Trueaudio A.6-VSSL

Thank you

I know Russound is still going strong and has always made excellent multi-room solutions. https://www.russound.com/products/audio-...ontrollers
Brian - a long time user that rarely messes with the system now
Other systems used:
SageTV w/ cablecard tuner & multiple extenders for viewing
BlueIris and IP cameras for CCTV
Incredible PBX for home phone

If I had to do it again and purchase, I would look really hard at the Nuvo Grand Concerto. I know some on here didn't always say it was perfect, but the B&K system I have has its moments as well, along with no support since they sold their business.  

The new B&K also makes an 8 zone, 16 channel amplifier but I have no idea if the old driver would work or if it even has an API for it.

We have been using the Grand Concerto and zone expander happily for 10 years, though I am definitely anxious about what I'll do when it dies.
CQC 3.4.1 / ELK M1G / ALC lighting (and Zwave not integrated)/ Extron component video / Nuvo Grand Concerto / Ooma IP telephony / Aprilaire thermostats (and one Nest not integrated)

I guess there is nothing modern in multizone Wink

I use Audio Control equipment and buy it used on ebay. They're built like tanks and will last forever. I have both a multizone amp and an Audio Control Director that uses RCA stereo plugs. Works fine but you have to be wired for it. Otherwise internet based stuff....
