Wireless Speakers

I'd like to find a wireless speaker system, but I am not sure where to start looking. I'd like a simple system that can connect to my ipod. Would like good to great sound quality. A big key would be expandability (i.e. single transmitter which allows for additional speakers to be added at another time, or maybe I can connect it to my DVD player). I'd also like the speakers to be indoor/outdoor, although I don't know if that makes any difference. Our new house has a huge deck and I'd like to have tunes pump out there.

Any advice?

Check these out. I recommend using wired speakers unless 1. You have no other choice. or 2. You want speakers that can be moved, like for a party. Also, wireless speakers still need power. Any-who that's my two cents. Hope this helps.

we have just moved house and need wireless only solutions around the house in connecting a mac (osx 10.4) to a sony hifi in a different room to link up and play itunes through the stereo. we need a wireless modem and adaptor to connect to broadband as phone line is in a separate hallway. we also would like a wireless connection from our samsung (new) tv to the same stereo to again play sound through the speakers. also are there any decent wireless speakers for a mac as ideally we would like speakers for the same room where the mac is and also our bedroom. i have looked at airport express etc and visited many shops but am baffled with it all. sounds a lot i know but please advise in plain english exactly how everything would work and cost. all the above has to be reasonably good quality but also affordable.
I know i already stated it is a mac so must be mac compatible, if you do not know this please don't answer the question. Cheers.

Your stereo would have to be part-computer to be able to receive a wireless signal, I haven't heard of such a device except, well, another computer.

Instead of transmitting from your current Mac, you could buy a Mac Mini or even a G4 Cube and use that as a media centre - people do this already. There is also the AppleTV but I don't really know anything about what that does, I imagine it's for playing back videos from a hard drive direct to your TV.

There are numerous articles out there on how to turn a Mac into a media centre, here's one I found straight away -

I will be upgrading from a 5.1 to a 7.1 home theater receiver. I live in an apartment and don't want to run wires to the 2 surrounds, and 2 rear speakers. I plan on purchasing a "Rocketfish" wireless transmitter/receiver to send the signal to the rear speakers. I don't have the surround speakers yet but was wondering about the possibility of using "two" rocketfish setups. They transmit on 2.4Ghz I believe. Would there be interference issues? Would using two setups significantly reduce sound quality? I know wireless quality is subpar to a direct connection so I really don't want to do wireless at all but I just cant run wires. Any help would be appreciated.

anything that uses 2.4 ghz has a potential of being interfered with by and causing interference to wireless routers and computers.....Try something that uses 5.8ghz or 900MHz....
Sony used to sell multi channel 900MHz speakers...

I have 2 bose speakers that i do not use because i hate to have wires running across the room . Is there an adapter or somthing that I can add to reciever and speakers to make them wireless. I do not want to buy a new set of wireless speakers.

Well my parents have a transmitter to send tv signals and audio to another room. A vcr and tv play it there. You could do this but somewhere along the way you'll need an amp/receiver to power the speakers. the unit works with video and audio rca jacks so should work like this.
