Need help with a home speaker system?

Yes you are loosing sound quality with a wireless system, simply as you are limited to lower-end performance products. However the loss may not be much of an issue for background music and may still be acceptable.

You may want to consider a compromise, and have wireless in areas of your home where you do not need the best of fidelity, and wired speakers where maximum fidelity is desired.

One word: Sonos

Everything you wanted from the Bose system but it didn't do, Sonos does.

One room on it's own, any group of rooms, all rooms. Master volume control or by room. Play one track in the whole house, or throughout a floor, or a different rack in every room or zone. Connect up your cable/satellite/terrestrial TV receiver and listen to the news or sport or anything anywhere.

Connect your PC or Mac or a NAS drive and have your entire music library at your fingertips. Stream ripped content at CD quality or better (192/320kbps MP3, Flac lossless). Stream from online sources and net radio stations.

Control every room/zone/whole house from your Android/Apple smartphone or tablet. Airplay to any/all rooms.

Do all of the above.... wirelessly

Sonos amps connect to standard Hi-Fi speakers - floor towers, stand-mounteds, in-walls, in-ceiling. One Sonos amp per room.

Each Sonos enabled room forms a node on a wireless mesh network connecting you to the entire network through your nearest physical zone amp.

Connect one Sonos amp via an Ethernet cable to your router. That's it.

Start small and build or jump right in with a whole house solution. Expands to more rooms than there are in the Playboy mansion.

Sonos includes an amplifier product, three different sized portable speakers includin the dinky Play:1's, a soundbar and wireless sub, and a streaming player only for connecting to existing Hi-Fi and AV systems.
