any decent powered speakers?


I'm thinking of something for the kitchen. High fidelity is not required, as this will be mated to a Soundblaster wireless music receiver and will be playing mp3s over our wireless network. But I would like something better than most computer speaker systems. Anything like this available?

I've got a bunch of mp3s ripped to a central server and Turtle Beach audiotrons hooked up to my main stereo, the bedroom Nakamichi clock radio, the Kloss Model 2 in the garage, and the stereo in the pool room. Mine is running over ethernet, not a wireless network. Works pretty well for background music--frankly, its easy and fairly reliable. It takes a long time after a power outage for the Audiotrons to catalog the 12K mp3s on the server, but that doesn't happen all that often.

I believe, however, the TB folks do not recommend wireless networks for WAV files because the transmission speed can't keep up... Might be the same for AIFFs. Frankly, I'm not even sure the audiotrons will do AIFFs. You should investigate that before spending too much time ripping and encoding if that is the route you intend to go.
