Default wireless transmission: any suggestion?

When playing music on youtube or similar websites I would like to
transfer the audio signal from the PC to the speaker which are at
about 10 feet away.

I was wondering if there is a device that transfers the signal
wirelessly from the PC to the Speaker.

I have checked for some wireless speaker but the price is from $90 for
a very mediocre ones.

any suggestion?

Thanks

You want a media sender type of device.

You could also do it with a short-range FM transmitter which are now
legal in the UK. You can get doodads for your ipod to let them broadcast
in FM so you can listen to it on your car radio.

you're asking for TWO devices....
One to plug into the headphone jack and xmit a signal....
RF or IR to the "pair" of spreakers... sort of like wireless headphones.
One to receive the RF or IR signal for "each" speaker... guessing you have 2
?

This is more of a ipod or "wireless headphone/speaker" type question.....
so look for that kind of device.... also - checkout the Bluetooth versions.
Plus - how are the speakers going to receive the signal ?

Sure will be much more expensive than a roll of speaker cable...

Wireless speakers aren't cheap.

You can use an AirFoil for Windows to transmit any Windows audio to an
AirPort Express, and output that to your choice of powered speakers. I
see lots of Expresses on eBay for under $40 (many for less;
<http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_trkparm...A2%257C39%253A
1%257C72%253A2466&_nkw=airport+express&_dmpt=COMP_ EN_Routers&_trksid=p328
6.c0.m14&_sop=15&_sc=1>. The older b/g version will work fine for this
application. You will need an 802.11 adapter for your PC, too.
