Multi Zone AV Receiver

Hi All,
I need some help / advice on choosing a AV Receiver that could run the following setup.(ceiling speakers are already installed)

Note: Wiring was done when the house was building, so all the wiring is downstairs in living room)

5 X Ceiling speakers 8 ohms (Living & Dining – Zone 1)
2 X Ceiling speakers 8 ohms (family upstairs – Zone 2)
2 X Ceiling speakers 8 ohms (Alfresco – Zone 3)

Requirements:
1) 1 AV Receiver or device to run 3 zones all together or 2 zones together or Independent of each other, with wifi / Bluetooth capabilities.
2) Device should have the capability to play AppleTv or Chrome Cast
3) Device should have the capability to play music from Iphone/Android to any selected zones
4) Device should allow some sort of App that can turn the Zones On/Off from IPhone/Android
5) Device should have the capability to play music from Youtube or any other app on TV

guys I don't have any knowledge of sound, but this is what I want. I will be really grateful to you guys, if you can suggest / help and guide me in my conquest.

Cheers
Sumeet

  • You're at the point where I believe you should consult a home theatre specialist. Get this properly done with a wall panel or some such

    • @Spaceback that's why I have asked on the forum, so I might find someone who knows what I am taking about. The wiring and stuff was done by specialist. he will install the Plate, but he is not sure on AV Receiver.

  • Depending on the speakers you have installed, your choice of receiver could be limited. not many receivers are powerfull enough to drive 9 speakers @ 8+ ohms.

    • @apple2016 they are Klipsch 3800 & 5800 series.
