Dedicated Speakers vs Local Phone Sessions Ingo Dean Thu, 27 Aug 1998 10:46:47 -0400

I was interested in the local phone sessions because there would be
some voice feedback through the phone.  If I had speakers next to all
my X-10 keypads, that would accomplish the same function, and my
family could follow voice prompts.

Is anyone on the list using wireless speakers?

I was imagining putting my Soundblaster output into the wireless
speaker transmitter, and then spreading the speakers throughout the
house.  I could then even "zone" them by plugging them all into
individual appliance modules.

Does anyone have a good (cheap) source of wireless speakers?  Ideally
the first set should come with the transmitter, but you'd be able to
purchase additional speakers as needed for maybe $20 to $40 each set.
I don't need music quality, just good enough to understand TTS.
