Wireless has not really developed to this level yet, The Squeezebox has a buffer and often users compression so works well with wireless, with what your friends are after the signal always needs to be life with no interruption or slowdown, problem is with most solutions that are out there if you walk between the transmitter and receiver it drops out because it has no buffer to fall back to. You may be interested in these powered speakers I sell them over here in Australia and am very impressed with them for the price and I am considering using them as rear speakers in my home theatre. http://www.audioengineusa.com/ . They are powered and the Squeezebox can plug directly into them. Still the speakers require one power cable and one speaker cable from one speaker to another and the Squeezebox requires a power cable too. IPOD and airport express can connect to them too. -- dlite ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dlite's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4885 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28300 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
