I boxed up an L-pad

and installed it a while ago, but it doesn't really seem to have
sufficient adjustment.

I find that odd, as if it's wired correctly, an L-pad should give an
adjustment range from 0- 100% of full power.


Well, AFAUK I have done it right, but I suppose that is a bit of
a circular argument. ;-)

Another alternative would be to install a 100 volt speaker system with
independent volume controls in each room, but that would mean buying a
new amplifier,and some matching transformers and volume controls.


So, significant expense, compare with my proposal which you
snipped. Just for the record, what would its advantages be?
