I finally got around to installing an A-BUS system from Channel Vision (single source AB-902); it works great even in higher ceilings (10 ft) and outdoor patio areas (10 ft). A pair of larger NHT iC3s in a 12 foot ceiling large room were a little weak.
I purchased a learning remote that takes care of everything. The IR repeater works well.
But after connecting up a Russound R235LS amp, that I expected I would need, they rocked very nicely. The remote that came with the system is not worth much except for on/off and volume (it had a multi-source option, but I was running single source).
Five years ago I wired my new house with Cat5 for line level audio and 16 gauge from the volume control to the speakers. I am driving some NHT iC2s and Speakercraft CRS 6.1s, they have plenty of volume and sound excellent.
The volume controls are not turning off automatically, but this is probably due to some signal leakage at my main amp causing them to stay on.
