Multiroom Audio (via wireless)

[michaeljclark]

Looking for some help please

Currently got my PS3 streaming music via my Windows Home Server, with the PS3 connected to a Sony DA2400ES Receiver. It does the job very well.

The Sony outputs to a Q Acoustic 5.1 setup

However I'm a bloke so want to upgrade my rear speakers to the Q Acoustic 1020's from the existing 1010's, which leaves me a spare pare of Q Acoustic 1010's which the OH thinks would go nicely the dining room for when she wants’ music there but doesn't want to turn the whole lot up to ear bleeding volume levels in the lounge.

So (and bearing in mind the Financial Director has signed off on this )

Is there some sort or wireless gizmo I can plug in to either the "Speaker B" or the "Pre outs" on the back of the Sony 2400ES, which I can marry up to another gadget that will connect the spare speakers to? I realise I could run cable, but we’ve been in the new place 9 months and the Mrs is not quite ready for me to start ripping stuff up!!!!

I could get some sort of Sonos/Logitech system and stream straight from the Windows Home Server (It has software for this). It’s not that I can’t afford it, but rather see it as a lot of money spent for not a lot of use.

Doesn't answer your question, but thought I'd mention there is a Q acoustics 2020 out now which is supposed to be a fair bit better than the 1020.

Yeah - spotted those - I'l have so see how closely they match the existing kit

Currently in the process of convincing myself I need a full 2000 series 5.1 speaker setup in gloss white. It'll go better in the new living room you see?

So I neeeeeeeeeeeed it.

I'll have to stay with the 1020i's as the 2010's come in "graphite" whereas my 1010i's are graphite black

I don't think the Financial Director will approve a whole new system

And looking about it would seem my wireless idea isn't going to work, unless I have an Amp to power the old kit, maybe I could upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1
