Because of upper-atmosphere propagation
delay, the raw time in a GPS receiver is only
good to 1 ms or less.  This is one of the errors
the WAAS system (or EGNOS/MSAS/GAGAN
system) corrects, but WAAS is only used by
the more expensive GPS receivers.

Given the number of GPS receivers required
(one for each speaker), and the need for
better than cheap & cheerful, GPS would likely
prove to be expensive.
