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 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). I am driving some NHT iC2s and Speakercraft CRS 6.1s, they have plenty of volume and sound excellent. A pair of larger NHT iC3s in a 12 foot ceiling large room were a little weak. But after connecting up a Russound R235LS amp, that I expected I would need, they rocked very nicely. The IR repeater works well. 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. 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). I purchased a learning remote that takes care of everything.

Excellent system, AB 902 kit comes with all the parts needed to make a single input, whole house audio system for 4 rooms. I'm going to expand mine to more rooms by adding 1 more piece. Easy to setup, install, and use. I recomend this as a good, low cost option for whole house music systems.
