I have one of these , you can connect two amps (AV and HiFi) to the same speakers - even bi-wired . That way you can cut down on the number of speakers you need.

I feel your pain. I’ve run close to a kilometre of Cat6 in our place since we bought it. While she enjoys the functionality of all the networked stuff in the house, my good lady did not appreciate the disruption of pulled up floorboards, chased walls, buried conduit, plastering and painting!

You are clearly teasing me
I chose my wife over a pair of ATC SCM100A’s
I don’t regret “every” day since then 
Very nice setup

My listening room uses WIFI from my AT&T router to a RPi4. It works 100 percent of the time with never any dropouts, etc. Is there any reason I should run a cat 6 cable? I assume not. Thanks.
She’s good at…………….er, cleaning 
Oh @Jim_F
Don’t go spoiling all the fun he’s had at pulling those cables in
In your case, probably not.
Modern WiFi generally works very well, but our house construction (evey single internal wall is made from 4" thick cinderblock coated on both sides with render and plaster) is horrible for WiFi.
I have three Ubiquiti enterprise APs to provide acceptable coverage for mobile devices around the house. Devices within a couple of feet of an access point will connect to the access point on a different floor because it’s easier to transmit through drywall ceilings and wooden floors than through the walls.
I have two RPi4B endpoints running wirelessly and they work really well, though that is in part due to their proximity to the nearest AP, and the fact that the TVs, Fire sticks, Sonos speakers, computers, IP cameras etc. are all running over Cat6. WiFi doesn’t work for connecting network switches together either. Horses for courses.
If it has an ethernet port, I try as a rule to run a cable to it.
With a modern timber and drywall house, WiFi would work exceptionally well, and ironically, cable would be far easier to run…

Seriously, do some around here have a frontal lobotomy/sense of humour bypass?
It’s patently obvious your comment was made with tongue very firmly in cheek.

My wife is disappointed that this post got flagged.
Her cleaning skills are amongst the best in the land.
She’s also a fantastic mother to my offspring (music related) and is a very intelligent person. She’s a child protection solicitor.
If those who thought that the …………. Was referencing her skills else where 
, the shame is upon you.

Well, I got flagged also. What’s up?
So, I’ll just post this…
It sounds so freaking good to my 76 year old ears I almost can’t stand it.

I just retired my HPM 100’s. After about five years trying to make them sound good, I finally gave up. Don’t get me wrong, they don’t sound bad. They were just very bright and fatiguing to my ears. I replaced the drivers (except the woofers) with units from the HPM 900. I rebuilt the crossovers with parts recommended by others on the interwebs. It all helped a little bit, but not enough. I replaced them with Tekton Perfect Set 12’s. A much more laid back and comfortable sound.

Roon Muse for the win. I don’t know about the 100’s. Room treatment might have something to do with it also. I only listen about 12 hours per day.
