We're currently changing our living room around. My wife wants to get rid of the speakers because of the unsightly cables so I've suggested a HiFi with wireless speakers. It would need to have an iPod docking station at least, but preferably an internal HDD. I'm not fussed about a CD player or DAB on this unit.

Does such a beast exist? I've had a look but couldn't find one.

Any suggestions?

Well unless you are into spending a fortune on batteries you won't get a truly wireless speaker. The link from HiFi to speaker may be wireless but it will still need some form of power to the amplifier in the speaker.

Which really means a mains cable, it would need a shed load of batteries to give you enough power so that really isn't a viable option.

So if you've got to run mains wires to the speaker why not simply run speaker cable to a pair of unpowered speakers?

Or did you think the few millionths of a watt of RF energy reaching the speaker would somehow be enough to make a noise all by itself?

There is a difference betweenbeing able to plug a speaker into an adjacent socket and snaking a cable round the room.

they are around £149

or get rid of the speaker son the hifi and use this instead plug the transmitter into the hifi and put the speakers where you want

Going to be honest its cheaper to get a decent hifi and run cables under the carpet, get this http://www.richersounds.com/information/hifisystems Hifi system2 and look online for a hard drive juke box separate
