I didn't bother, because I thought it would muddy the waters, and the
subject of this thread, in conjunction with the content, of my initial
post, seemed pretty conclusive. I believed there was certainly enough
info to establish what I'm trying to achieve, and therefore prompt a
relevant response, regardless of the previous thread, to which I
referred!

My reason for including the referrence, was for the benefit of those
who'd read (responded to) my previous topic, and who may think I was
being impatient for starting a new, related thread, such as this.
Whereas I, having posed new questions, at the end of the
above-mentioned thread, and having received no replies, thought it best
to begin a new topic, thus!

Thanks for your reply... I get the jist that I should just go ahead
with the 'consumer targetted' wireless solutions to networking home
audio. I thought it just seemed to follow that a 'wired' solution was
available that could utilise the same technologies as a 'wireless'
device, and therefore remove the need for products such as the Airport
Express, between amp and router. I've read articles about
'professional' needs for such devices and, indeed, they are available,
with price tags to match. My need is very basic, and low-cost, just
something to listen to while in the downstairs shower, or while cooking
in the kitchen, other than whatever happens to be playing on the TV, in
the lounge, to which these speaker zones are currently connected.

If @£80 for an Airport Express and @£50 for a small amp (for each or
both of the zones) is the cheapest solution, then that's what I'll go
for! I may even treat myself to a squeezebox after christmas, and when
I'm really flush, perhaps the Sonos system....
