Good quality wireless, active speakers ??

I have a SONOS system, with 2 small speakers, for our casual setup.  I can move the speakers to the basement, garage, or kitchen and listen to streaming music.  It is awesome and I love the convenience.
The speakers sound nice for what they are but, are not audiophile quality.

 My dilemma is my main 2ch system.  I have a Nuprime IDA-8 integrated amp driving large speakers.
They were great in our large old house but, we downsized and moved into a smaller house this summer and the rooms are much smaller and running speaker cables from the amp will not be nice looking at all.
I'd love to replicate something like the SONOS speaker system for my main 2ch system but, would like better audio quality.  Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thx,
Rob

The secret to Sonos is using wifi for transmission, not bluetooth (which is mostly short range line of sight). There are not many credible wi fi music systems used out there beyond Sonos (Yamaha Musicast?). Sonos is improving and pursuing higher definition. There are a lot of very high end people in music consulting/advising for them so I know they are chasing this.

Why not get a sonos "connect" and hook it up to what you want?  The active part of a speaker is not related to the idea of wifi music, other than it uses electricity.  I have a connect amp on a set of small ATC SCM7s [passive] for my office and it works great.
