Rocketfish™ - 4-Pair Stereo Speaker Selector - Black
Rocketfish™ - 4-Pair Stereo Speaker Selector - Black
Only at Best BuyThis stereo speaker selector allows you to connect and control up to 4 pairs of speakers and delivers 40W RMS power per channel.
 

What size receiver or amplifier is suggested?

I will be running a total of eight speakers, 2-Polk Atrium 4 on an upper deck, 2-Insignia NS-SP213 in my den and 4-Polk MC80 in ceiling over my patio all with 8 Ohm ea. I will be running all in conjunction with a Mac Pro which has bluetooth. However, I will not be utilizing any more than four speakers at any given time. Do I need an amplifier or a receiver? How many watts are suggested for such and are there any other requirements that I would I need to consider so as to safely use my SSVC$ selector. The folks at Best Buy weren't so helpful or forthcoming in this regard. Thanks
This really depends on how loud you want your music to be. My first thought is to use a 1,000 watt amplifier and run higher power line transformers such as Lowell TLM10070A High Performance 100W, 70V. You can go down to lower taps such as 32 watts or lower like 10 but 10 would be really just for doctor's office type background music.
There are more receivers now-a-days that can distribute power to multiple zones as well. But do be careful as most of the multiple zone receivers will still require you to have a separate amp. Most of the multi-zone receivers are only giving you extra "pre-amp" outputs which are no more than RCA output jacks to connect to another amp or receiver...

cracking and popping in speaker

I have used another speaker same effect, I have switched wiring and the other speaker does the same thing. So I know it is not the speakers.
Have you checked the polarity? Make sure that your polarity is correct and that you are using a heavier gauge of wire. You may also want to run an AC line filter or use a power conditioner.
