C2n-Amp-6x100 expandable up to 24 rooms
The bottom of the product page state: Affordable audio distribution for six rooms, expandable for up to 24 rooms.
What stops me from adding more than 24 rooms? I can add as many amps as I want to in SIMPL. Is there really a limit, has anyone done 29 rooms using these amps?

I've gone past their recommendations before and it worked just fine. They're concerned about looping the audio out from one amp to another over and over and over again. I've looped eight BIPADs before without issue (it had the same four device limitation).
I say go for it. If you experience audio degradation you may have to put the audio inputs into a distro amp, and wire the amps directly off of that.
Have you tried it specifically with the c2n-amps?
No, I've not done a job that required more than four of those.
Thanks for the response, your thinking is exactly what I was thinking, but wasn't sure if someone had actually tried it.
On a side gripe...
"Why is the DM cable length limit was it is?"
"Because that's the new standard"
"ok, but why?"
"Because that's the new standard"
"ok, so you don't know. got it."
I miss the old Crestron where they'd actually tell you what stuff was capable of and now just play it safe. I can see why they do that now, I just miss actual answers.
/rant.
Remmember when they used to actually let us know which chipsets the processors had in them? Everything is some sort of secret with them now.
