I just installed a Crown XLS 602 I bought off ebay into my home audio "rack". The purpose is to drive speakers around the house. I know lots of you have me way beat in this area (but my setup is getting more and more geeky I swear!).
Anyways... I know from home theater installing in the past, that cheap receivers don't like mix-matched impedance matching volume controls on the B speaker channel. With a more powerful flexible amp like this, should I run into any issues running 2 or 3 impedance matching controls?

edit: No wait, just occurred to me that my old boss was silly and probably never understood speaker balancing, I bet that's why he had trouble with volume controls.
And yes, this is all cheaper and more fun than installing a more flexible system like A-BUS or some other russound system.

No opinion on impedance volume controls??? Holy Kielbasa!
