Okay:

Is there such a thing as wireless speakers that I could hook up to my stereo? I would like to have mobile speakers. I don't want to run cables all over the place.

The "experts" at Best Buy didn't know if that kind of thing even existed.

So?

Do you just want a little mobile solution that will allow you to bring 'tunes in the kitchen or something, or do you want hi fidelity?

Saitek released this a few months ago:

Logitech makes a 5.1 speaker system with wireless rear speakers Z-5450 310 watts RMS THX certified...

I don't think either of these are going to be really "party worthy". I mean, party worthy implies to me that it's going to need to be fairly loud without distorting - which consumes power, which requires power outlets and wires.

The Logitech setup is fine but they're small rear speakers and the subwoofer isn't going to be there, so you're not going to get great or powerful sound.

What's your budget? I have an MP3 player and a laptop, so I have two portable devices that I could bring outside in a party. Thus, what I'd probably do for a hookup is buy a cheap set of powered studio monitors (expensive solution), or an inexpensive bookshelf sound system from Radio Shack or some place, with an Auxilliary input.

The logitech rear speakers are 40.5 RMS watts each, thats decent power...

Duh, That's true. I could just use my laptop, or my Ipod for that matter with a decent set of computer speakers.

I had a vision of the same music playing all over the party though. This way, it will have separate sound tracks in different areas. I guess that's okay.

Oh - this is for a party?

When I think "party", I think of a rack or two filled w/ 500w Crest amps and so many speakers you need at least 4 able-bodied people to stack them.

I'd be suprised if they could actually put out 40 watts each without a lot of distortion - many times they measure the power output @ 10% distortion . That's not all that much power anyway, depending on the size of the party.

Da Peach, it's a noble goal but I don't think there's a good way of doing it wirelessly right now.

Your laptop/iPod and a set of powered speakers are probably the easiest way to do it.

 

[Da Peach]

Fair enough. Mitchapalooza will have to live without the technology.

Maybe I'll just entertain by playing guitar instead. Oh yeah, better start practising...
