Home audio question

[casualsax3]

Im looking to create a multi-zone home audio system controlled by my Apple Laptop wirelessly. I've got an Airport Express that I'd like to plug connect to a wirelessly controlled multi-zone amplifier.

Basically, I sit with my laptop, I select the song with iTunes and select the AirTunes "speaker", which would be hooked up to a multi-zone amp. Then, through some sort of internally hosted web page (think linksys router configs) or application interface, I can choose which zones the amp will play through.

There will be 8 total zones:
Living Room
Kitchen
Bathroom (Downstairs)
Backyard
Bedroom 1
Bedroom 2
Office
Bathroom (Upstairs)

I'll be running the cable in-wall, so it can just be a centrally located amp(s).

Worst case scenario, I'll put one amp upstairs, one downstairs, hook each up to an Airport Express, and call it a day. I'm wondering if there's anything better out there though.

I don't know one that you can do it through iTunes but you can check out this system:

It's designed o be a whole house audio system where you can have multiple zones and such. I use it at home and it works great. You could post in the support forums what you want to do and they could tlel you the options. They are working on anew version right now that might include some of that stuff.

EDIT:
I get the multiple zones by having a sound card in the computer that runs it that I configured to act as 3 individial right/left channels. I then hardwire them to my upstairs tuner and downstairs tuner just like I'd connect a cd player. I can control everything through the Viewer App from my laptop (or any computer) and control the zone individually or linked or whatever. Can even use any computer on the network as a zone and play it through the computer speakers and such.
