I have one of those attached to my home theature system to route music to my kitchen and outdoor deck. Future plans include wiring up the bedrooms and possibly the garage.
Works very well.
Three things to keep in mind:
1. Keep in mind that the speaker switch is not a powered unit, so you may need to turn up the volume on your amp a bit higher in order to take advantage of the volume controls on the speaker switch.
2. Depending on the distances of the speakers (speaker wire length) as well as the additional wireless set of speakers, you may realize an echo-effect which occurs between sets of speakers. Not an issue if you only hear one set of speakers at a given time, but it can be an issue if the rooms are next to each other. (It will sound kinda like music playing in an arena)
3. If you are using a newer low end HTS, and are planning on connecting your garage system to the "B" channel, then most of the low-end theature systems will not support a digital audio signal on the "B" channel, only analog.
Hope this helps,
