Appreciate your input team! Designing a new build home system with preference for room correction and (selective) active speaker amplification and of course simplicity/UX/value (impossible?!). Areas include Great room30x20’ vaulted, master bed room plus bath vaulted, office20x18’ vaulted, screened porch, patio. Ideas to change or optimize the following? What would you do?

Thinking of a Heos driven set up (Samsung TVs)

1) audiophile area in office 5.1 marantz 7706 (heos with balanced xlr pre outs) with 3 genelec 8341 and 2 8331 ceiling surrounds 7360 sub,

2) great room audio video 7.1 Denon avr 3800 or 4800 2Polk Es 20s, es35 center, ceiling Polk rc80i surround and rears, SVS pb1000 or pc 2000, 3) receiver zone 2 -adjacent kitchen 4 ceiling rc80i,

4) bedroom and bath (as zone 2) denon avr1800 ceiling stereo rc80i might later increase bed to 5.1,

5)screened porch avr 1800 4 kef ci 160qr and patio (zone 2) definitive AW 6500 speakers in eves.

6) hot tub heos amp driving definitive aw5500.

will pre wire the living room kitchen and porch with cat 5, power and balanced xlr for potential future genelec upgrades.

Home automation nest cameras and hvac, Lutron lighting, hunter douglas shade automation controls plus switches

What would you do to optimize/impove the Av system and or do to future proof on wiring etc?
