So yeah, find someone local that can help you with what you need.
LOL, everything comes from three hours away
I wasn't thinking about where to buy, but rather what to buy and maybe help installing it.

Me too. All the people who help and know that stuff are hours away. Not a lot of local skills.

I'm sure you can figure it out by yourself then.
It's basically the same building blocks as hifi gear. Just without the snake-oil and more standardized.
Line levels are higher (roughly 4x) and you often have balanced input/outputs which means less interference and ability to run audio signals over longer distances.
A multizone system would also use a line mixer with several zone outputs. Aka zone mixer / distribution mixer / matrix mixer. That would be the heart of the system.
You would connect your audio sources to the line mixer, for instance a computer or mediaplayer of some kind. If you wanted to stream from a phone or something wireless to several zones, you'd could hook up a bluetooth receiver to the line mixer. Or whatever tech you want as long as it has audio out.

@pete-s yeah, sadly we need to get every component of the system. Just a cheap house stereo from the 90s hooked up right now.

Well. It turned into a big project.
Ended up replacing old Unifi APs, adding additional APs, adding 4 Sonos Fives, 2 Sonos Ones, 2 Sonos One SLs, 4 Sonos Moves, and 2 Sonos ARCs.
Then, because of the new APs, spent at least 4 hours battling a WiFi connected Tuxedo Touch, ended up pulling Ethernet to it.
Integrated Alexa to the Sonos System just so I could ask the speakers to turn the outdoor Edison Lights on and off!
And then added my Plex server, SiriusXM, and Spotify to Sonos.
We be Jammin' now!

Damn, that IS a project.

@scottalanmiller And Momma just asked if she could have speakers in the laundry room and She Shed!
