Just a further thought. If my MC200 is not connected to my 861 then I assume I then need an amp and a processor to connect my MC200 to passive speakers? Are there any old (�100's rather than �1000's) Meridian systems for me to connect to, or am I best looking elsewhere? I've never had a Meridian amp, so am not familiar with them, as I moved from Parasound amp & processor, to just the amp + 861 with passive speakers, to 861 with DSPs.

I do have the Parasound kit in boxes in the roof, but it may be overkill for the bathroom, plus I'm keen to be able to control the volume from the iPad if possible. In fact, I will be wiring up the system in the roof, so need to be able to control everything remotely, or will have to place near my existing set-up. I can run an ethernet and speaker cables between my roof and main system if required.

Although ID40 is sounding a good option, part of the appeal of Sonos is that 1 box connected to my speakers does everything and can be fully controlled over wifi. Still prefer to stick with Meridian if I can though.
