Hi MacRumors citizens! I recently bought a new house which came pre-wired with speakers in just about every room of the house, outside, and was wired for 5.1 in the living room. I'm not much of a home theater expert, so I really didn't know what to do with all that, but found that my best bet was to buy a multizone receiver for the family room which would drive the 5.1 sound in living room and also allow a second input to drive the rest of the house.
These receivers are really expensive, and so its going to have to wait. With the holidays coming up i'd still like to have something to drive the speakers in the rest of the house but without a complicated setup. What i'd really like to do is dock my iPhone or iPod and play music from it. But without a complicated expensive AV receiver setup, how do I do that? I've got speaker wire that i'd like to somehow hook up to my iPhone, but not sure what hardware I need to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
