hey all, figured you were nice and knowledgeable enough before when helping me decide on axioms that i would ask a totally non-axiom stereo question.

my father wants to place speakers in his house on seperate floors to give some ambient music to the place. Most likely 2 for each floor for a total of 4 speakers with each floor having its own left/right combo if that makes sense. I know of receivers with multizone capabilities but i'm thinking there may be better ways of going through this then getting a 4-500 reciever with 6.1 etc when he will only use the stereo setting. so, let me hear it. Whats the cheapest/easiest way to get this done. He's not looking for the best sound quality and will probably even use in wall speakers, so i just need advice on what receiver/amp etc i need for the job.

Thanks,
Adrian
