Multi Room home audio for new construction home

More details are needed.

May I ask why? Movies are very well set up for 2, 5, and 7 speakers +/- sub. Most receivers will let you turn the center channel off and route it through the others. But if you're installing 4 in-ceiling speakers, is their a reason you aren't doing a 5th?

What device do I need to run all these zones?

Do you want:
1) the same thing playing in all zones?
2) different things in each zones?

Specify what your sources (of sound) are. Directv/cable, computer, CD player, network media player, etc

Keep in mind- sources aren't part of audio distribution systems, and nothing about the system will let you play multiple things from the same source. So knowing what you have to play your audio would be quiet helpful here, as well as how you plan on dividing the load. Systems for basically and combination you want can be had. Don't ask what's possible- say what you want, then figure out a way to make it work. Decide if the necessary caveats that you incur are worth it, and go from there. But the idea is the easier thing to start with.

to my media closet

Will all equipment be in the media closet? No cable/satellite box or stereo equipment outside of it at all? and any part of this proposed system should also be in the closet?
How do you want to control it? Did you wire in volume controls in each zone already? Are you planning on some sort of RF universal remote?


Once you answer that, it should be easier to give you an idea of what to look at.
