They do seem flexible in how they can be used; they would be an easy way to add a second system in another room by hooking the line-level outputs to another amplifer.  <br><br>Wireless has a long way to go before I've convinced it can compete equally with good cable (never mind the power issues that require batteries or plug-ins).  I'm with kadajawi - I'll keep my wires.

My 2x35 Watts amp is by far more than enough to get complaints by the neighbours (and become deaf), without maxing it out at all.
