You've plenty of options.
AirPlay is getting rather old now and - as you'd rather stay away from
iDevices - then AirPlay is really a No Go option given you want to play
FLAC and the like.
Perhaps it might help if you could give us a rundown of equipment you
currently have or you think you might use, you've said your Wife has an
iPhone so that alone indicates that integrating Apps into your streaming
system would be a nice option? That can be done.
If you're using Windows 7 plus on your computer then you can stream
content by using the built-in Cast To Device setting in Windows or
Windows Media player itself using DLNA
There are heaps of DLNA compatible speakers around or - if you'd rather
use your existing amplifier - then a Tuner/Streamer attached to it -
preferably using a digital link - would be a good and logically option.
Further to all of this you might abandon your computer for storage of
your music and choose to use a network compatible hard drive which gives
you more flexibility, the ability to stream your music remotely and so on.
This brief introduction - for want of a better word - only scrapes the
surface.

I'm just curious, what would be the best way to play/stream audio
throughout the house these days?
Does anyone know of any accesseable wireless speakers for example, or
streaming servers that can be used with them?
I'd rather not have to use i-devices but my wife does have an iphone.
