ᐅ Planning a Home Theater System – Control Options and Various Questions

We are currently at the shell construction stage and are planning the electrical installation. So far, we have used very basic equipment for listening to music (AIWA micro system, TV sound directly from the TV), but we want to plan for more "proper" equipment in the house.
What I have in mind:
> In the living room, I would like a surround sound system that allows me to listen to both music and TV audio.
> At the same time, I want to transmit sound from this system to the dining area, where stereo sound is sufficient (just for background music).
> Ideally, I would also like to be able to set up speakers on the terrace for garden parties, which can also be connected to the same system.
My questions:
1. I have already seen that there are multi-room control systems – would that be suitable here, or are there better options?
2. What should I pay attention to when purchasing a receiver / speakers?
3. Which connectors should I plan for (receiver -> wall [connector] -> [speaker cable] -> wall [connector] -> speakers)?
4. Is there any downside to the idea of also connecting the dining area speakers via wall connectors, and for garden parties, using those connectors to connect the outdoor speakers?
5. Attached is a draft of the plan on the floor plan – what could be improved? Any advice or tips are welcome!

.... and the quality of the CD is then praised.It is "allegedly" also not audible whether a CD is played or vinyl is used. I dare to boldly disagree.Regards, Bauexperte

Sebastian798 Nov 2015 23:10You’re just making things up – when you reply directly to a post, quoting is completely unnecessary.
This is generally how forum culture works. Don’t come at me with accusations of disrespect.
Above all: YOU quote me, contradict my statement, and then claim that I’m happy to correct you?
Honestly, I’ve said it several times already and I’m happy to repeat it: Sometimes it’s outrageous what assumptions are made about people here – and this coming from a moderator.

It is "supposedly" not even possible to hear the difference between playing a CD or vinyl. I boldly beg to differ.
Regards, Bauexperte CD and vinyl are worlds apart—digital versus analog (with all the quirks that a record can have, which you can actually hear).
There is also an audible difference between a low-quality MP3 (below 128 KBit/s, sometimes from internet radio) and a good-quality one.

Why do you always twist the truth? Unfortunately, this happens quite often...
I replied directly to your post – so why are you now bringing up exceptions?
What you dare to claim is simply bold and disrespectful – just so you know.
I was referring to THIS thread, where you quoted me and then backtracked afterwards.
I’m reading very little from Bauexperte at the moment...

Why do you always twist the truth to suit yourself? I'm not in the mood today to accept your version of reality; it happens.

I hardly see much from Bauexperte lately... True; "Bauexperte" isn’t very interested today in tolerating Sebastian’s quirks.
