No, the problem is that a power amplifier requires a good deal of
current. You can get an IFB receiver that will drive headphones nicely,
but if you want to drive speakers, you need a reasonable amount of power
and that means you need to plug it into the wall, which defeats the whole
idea of wireless.

Well, no. It doesn't. It still eliminates the need (and logistics) of
running thick gauge speaker wire from the amplifier to the distant room.

So, put the amplifier in the distant room and run thin gauge line level
cable. No wireless needed.

Or run 70V system.

Going wireless is just such a huge can of worms that it's best to avoid
opening it unless you absolutely have to.

There's been no shortage off ppl 'announcing' wireless hi-fi audio without
remotely having the product available that I got into a full blown row with a
potential business partner over this.

He was *convinced* that his 'mates' knew what they were talking about. He said "
my brother works in semiconductors - you're just being negative " etc blah -
blah - blah and what-not.

His brother does indeed. I'd previously asked him for any helpful contacts. He'd
mentioned Cirrus logic.

When I got Cirrus Logic's PR guy to mail my 'friend' to the effect that they had
dropped all interest in that product area he *finally* shut up.
