Is the speaker selector also an amplifier? Otherwise appear to be missing an amplifier altogether.

The speaker selector isn't an amp, and neither is a tuner. Is there a particular reason you didn't just get a receiver with multi-zone speaker outputs?

As it sits, you definitely need an amplifier.

I tried to copy the one in the other office and this is what they used basically..I guess they used a radio with an amp..can you recommend a cheap amp that would work with what I have?

Any stereo amp will work. Assuming you can't return the pyramid tuner and just get a receiver, check craigslist for amplifiers; you can often find reasonably nice 2-channel hi-fi stuff for cheap.

If you can return the tuner, return it. That sony will be just fine for what you want.

You're planning to run 2 pairs of speakers? or 4 pairs at once?
