I am interested in a Denon stereo receiver (Link below). It will be going into a 6 port speaker selector (with 6 pairs of speakers for the house). Will this receiver be powerful enough to power the speakers? Or do I need something with more watts per channel? I don’t want to spend over $500. Any suggestions? THANKS!

That would be really pushing it unless you’re just talking about low volume background music throughout the house.
I use a rack of separate receivers to power each zone in my house (2 pairs of speakers per receiver) which gives much greater flexibility.
If you shop around, you can find 3 inexpensive receivers for $500.
I know Yamaha and Denon both have several A/V receivers in the $150 price range.
You won’t need to use the speaker selector if you go this way, just use the A/B speaker switches to turn zones on and off.
Another way to go is a multi-channel amp. They can be really pricey, but something like this might work:
Although you might need a 6 zone version depending on your setup.

Just a suggestion.
Oh, and obviously you’ll need “Y” adapters to spit the signal coming out of your CD player to the separate receivers. I actually use a little 1 input 6 output buffering amplfier made by Niles to feed a single source line level signal to the multiple amps.
