Anyone have experience with good - but not overly expensive - wireless speakers?

Hoping to use my Lenovo laptop and stream music from Spotify, iTunes, Radio Paradise, etc to bring music into the south facing room we will be inhabiting more often through the cold weather.... without resorting to the pitiful laptop speakers!

thanks for any recommendations or words of wisdom!

It works great - my husband has used it out in the back yard, even. I don't think it's available any longer, though. I'm sure there's something similar available (or probably even better these days).

Sony SRS-RF90R Wireless Speaker

With so many sources of interference, I wouldn't trust them. I'd just get some wall-mounted (6-10&quot speakers from Radio Shack along with a 1/8th" extension cord. They're not all that expensive and have EXCELLENT sound. Also, try piping the sound through the stereo so you can use the equalizer. You'll get better sound all around and it's easier to adjust.

I've also got a set of Creative Labs speakers that I use for the server. It makes it easy to adjust the volume and also for plugging in headphones if I want (Sony's the way to go there).
