The House Is Alive And Rockin'

I dusted off my ancient SoundDesign receiver and with a little trial and error connected to all eight home speakers. The receiver has enough power to drive all the speakers. With the receiver's A/B switch and the volume controls built into the house, I have three music zones, which is enough. I was thinking I would need a better receiver and an audio hub, but no, I don't need to buy a thing.
