Nate,

Speaker selector controllers are availible from Niles in particular which should do what you want. They have many models to choose from with many options from a basic 4 and 6 speaker pair units to models with volume controls for each location.

Do keep in mind that you are limited a bit on how many speakers you should drive at the same time using the same amplifier, however units as these to take that into consideration and often offer protection options.

A second amplifier is an option to keep in the back of your mind as you go into this. Depending on the number of speakers you are wanting to add, a integrated amplfier (possibly used?) might cost less and be more flexible.

Don't worry about your long run of wire. I am more worried about the low impedance load you will be adding - the long run will help there!

: Just purchased the ES30 to replace a jurassic Technics receiver and am extremely pleased. Right now I have it connected to two front speakers and the a center (subwoofer and the rears are on their way). I would like to be able to distribute the signal to various rooms in the house. I had done this with my old receiver and a generic radio shack speaker switch box, but was never satisfied with the sound quality. The longest run will be about 80 feet, I'm not sure if that length requires additional power (amp?). Advice on constructing the system, right down to the brand of components needed and the type of cable, is greatly appreciated.
