Suspect this is a simple question for the Rotel wizards here. I have the RSP-985 with the "second room" output to run a set of speakers outside the primary listening area. Plan to have my main setup in a basement home theater. Would like to run a set of speakers upstairs in the family room. I would have a separate power amp downstairs than run the speaker wire up (suspect that would be a lot cheaper than running interconnects to the amp upstairs). In my rack will have a Denon 2900 as well as a Denon multiplay CD player I would like to access from upstairs.
Questions-
1) Does there need to be a "hard" (wire) connection between the components downstairs and up? In other words (know nothing about this so hope you can figure out what I am trying to say), do the IR remotes travel through the ethereal vapor, or do you have to run coax or something between the receiver/transmitter. What products are needed and seem to work well? I seem to remember someone struggling through this a while back but could not track down the thread.
2) what kind of speaker wire should be run through the ceiling floor? I am using SoundKing 12G, but suspect some sort of covered/shielded wire would be used to get upstairs. Than I guess could have a plate to plug into with a short run of the 12G.
3) Can two different sources be run simultaneously with this second room feature? (2900 downstairs, multi play upstairs?)
Thanks in advance for the info that I am sure will be insightful.
