Evening snowhead techies!!
I have a PC/TV in my kitchen which holds all my music. Following some 'house alterations' we now have a sitting area about 50 feet away from said TV.
I was wondering if I can buy remote wireless speakers which the PC could play music to, without going to the expensive of Sonos etc?
Or I have some speakers for an apple dock, if I could plug them into 'something' that would play in sync from the Windows PC???
And no, 'buy apple' isn't an option, as far as I am aware they don't do an all in 1 touchscreen integrated TV/computer....
Cheers,
Greg

kitenski, in a similar situation, and with a virtually redundant but decent hifi system we were about to get rid of, I bought an Apple Aiport express , set up the network from the PC and connected it to the audio port of the hifi. It also works from all of our Ipods and Iphones, and you can connect non-Apple stuff with a normal jack. Yes I know you didn't want Apple, nor did we, and you probably haven't got an old stack system kicking about, but it may be a solution if others ever read the thread.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Mr Piehole, don't reckon bluetooth will cover the distance.....
Hells Bells, so I'd buy the airport express and plug speakers into it, then use itunes on the PC to play to it???
Just come across these which seem worthy of further investigation..especially with multi speaker sync.....
