I visited Best Buy yesterday, and I have to say that the idea of running speaker wires all over the house, then getting a big amp with a complex control arrangement are long gone.

WHat ever the source of your music - be it TV, cable, Ipod, computer, stereo, etc. - thera are a variety of approaches to getting music where you look.

Most of these wireless systems claim a range of 150ft, and great protection against interference or 'cross talk.'

The system I got had the brand name of "RocketJet" or somesuch. $130 bought a transmitter that plugs into the computer and a single speaker. At the other end of the scale, Bose has a $300 gizmo that communicates with your computer- aparrently nearly all computers have some sort of wireless capability these days- and has a rechargable battery for greater portability.
