In article , says...

I have a living room that's decorated 18th century. Well all except for the
component sound system, and 3 foot speakers ;^) The sound system is giving
out and it's time to buy a new one.

My first thought was to buy a small unit and hide it in a cabinet. Something
like the Cambridge 740 or the Bose Wave radio.

But then I saw that one can buy transmitters/receivers that take the speaker
signal and transmit to speakers in another room. It woud be much easier for
me to hide speakers than a whole system.

But my question is:

Do these wireless systems degrade the sound quality a lot? I'm not an
audiophile and I don't need a primo system. But it would be nice if the
sound was decent.

Wireless speakers need to be powered somehow, so you will have to either
run wires to an outlet, or re-charge a battery often. Wireless speakers
could sound very good, but that will depend on their design. Right now, I
would never consider wireless speakers because to me their benefits do not
make up for their drawbacks. I would suggest you listen to the speakers
before you buy. You should also ask a lot of questions on the installation
of the speakers.
