Just installed some add'l ceiling speakers in my kitchen & dining room. I connected a small Yamaha 25W 4 channel amp to the L/R Pre-out of the 1070 to drive my external speakers. Because of the 1070 variable ouput, when attempting to pipe music to the additional speakers, I have to turn the volume up on the 1070 so loud to get the sound in the additional speakers to a normal listening level. With the volume up so loud my main speakers overpowers everything, even in the other rooms!!

I know the 1070 isn't a multizone system, however, but when listening to music in stereo I would like to hear it in the additional rooms at normal listening levels also...

Does anyone have any setup suggestions to achieved normal listening levels in all rooms?
Or is anyone using the 1070 connected to an external amp to drive additional speakers other than your main 5.1/7.1 speakers?

In my main room I have Def-Tech in-wall speakers all around, the RLS II's reference series for the front, Bipolar's BP/A rear, and they Mytho's 7 center. I just put a couple of pair of Paridigm C50R (basic ceiling speakers)...
