Wireless whole house speaker solutions

[cambam8905]

Hi all,

I'm hoping to pick your brains and come up with a decent solution. I'm having to move to a new place, and the apartment we are moving from has a fairly open floor plan so a centralized system allowed us to listen to our records and be heard through the place without issue. The new apartment we are moving to is fairly divided from front to back in basically a straight line, so I am trying find a way to incorporate wireless with what I have, or if that is impossible, a good whole house system to look into that will work with my turntable.

I'm thinking of having the system in the living room (front of apt) with the JBLs and combing it with some wireless speakers for the rear of the apartment. However if this is impossible, some recommendations on a whole house system that I could use with my current turntable would be greatly appreciated!

Current set up:
Turntable: Thorens TD 320
Receiver: Marantz 2220B
Speakers: 2 - JBL C56 Dorian marble top floor speakers



Thanks!

Sonos works well for me, and you can buy them at Target.

Interesting thread. The world is geared toward digital music, and hence everything wireless is pushed that direction. None of the suggested items have a way to plug in your existing analog system to stream. You'd have to find an additional product to get your analog system into a computer and the computer in effect becomes your "source" for the wireless items.
Which sounds a little more convoluted than it should be.

maybe some form of short-range FM broadcaster, like we used to see in auto-accessories, before cars had usb/aux/bluetooth inputs...not sure how hi that limits your fi.

digitally encoding the output of your record player for the purpose of streaming it around your home seems silly - assuming you are going to want to have all the rooms in sync, you probably won't be able to get the live stream to sync up with the live output of the turntable, so it would make more sense to digitize the records first, and then stream them with a digital stream solution of your choice.
