[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 476322, member: 15110"] I would suggest using an Airport Express plus the Airfoil software ($25). Airfoil lets you stream to multiple Airport Express adapters as well as specify sources other than iTunes to stream from. You can use iTunes to stream DRM-protected music from the iTunes Music Store, your own ripped music, or streaming Internet radio stations. Here is a link to the Airfoil software: [url]http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/[/url] The Airport Express supports Mono, Stereo, and 5.1 surround sound output. If you are just looking for a good set of stereo speakers, Logitech makes a number of nice ones with subwoofers. The model you listed, the Logitech Z-5500 speakers, are 5.1. You can watch movies in surround sound wirelessly from your Airport Express if you want.
