Hi to all,
Sorry about jumping in but my "Introduce new users" post disappeared three times and Im bored with that now (and using Firefox). I hope youll forgive me.
My "HiFi" system is currently very 80s flavoured - Originally a Planar 3 through a 3020i and Monitor Audio 242s, now the planar (with all my vinyl) is in my office running two Control 1s as nearfields through a Rotel (another 80s budget amp). The 3020 and the speakers are still in the lounge connected to a Sony CD and our television with occasionally an iphone/ipod via aux. Its all a long way from modern HiFi ;-)
Now we have a second baby, my wife wants at least the speakers to go wireless. We dont really want (nor can we really afford) a multiroom system with wireless sources too, although that would be an option if it offers the best quality. At minimum I would want wireless stereo speakers, Id be happy to look at a 5.1 cinema system with wireless fronts and/or rears and if all else fails, look at multiroom.
Im not at all worried about reassigning the amp (although Im happy to keep it) and binning the speakers but the system should be able to deal with CD, TV and iPod at least in good stereo (at least not worse than my current setup).
Most of the available wireless speakers seem to be better PC-systems or outdoor PAs and although Teufel, the German manufacturer, had an interesting wireless 5.1 system, they are now pushing multiroom. Budget is low - Anything over 1000UKP will hurt, more than 2000 and Id rather argue with the wife over the cables currently lying around.
Any suggestions?
Oh, and Ive seen the KEF wireless units but they are blinkin expensive for what they are and no-one seems to like them.
Thanks for your help.
