Default Music streaming from TV etc

not sure if what I buy would do the job.


There are quite a few WiFi enabled speakers about... have a look at the
Sonos range for example.


Yes but I'm not sure they will work for this application. I think the
problem will be that TV (presumably that has the USB port for the
dongle) won't have any means of streaming live audio out over the
WiFi or serving files. TV's tend to be "clients" not "servers".

But again why wireless for the audio link? Any speaker worth its salt
is going to need a decent bit of power and there is the WiFi Rx etc
so that implies a cable. Unless you really want to get into changing
batteries.
