Wireless Speakers for AirPlay without Airport Express
Given that all the mac and iOS devices we have are running off wireless anyway, what is to stop me just getting wireless speakers (assuming such a thing exists) and having them sync up with AirPlay.
do wifi speakers exist?
if so are they AirPlay compatible?
if not would you recommend getting an Airport Express or Apple TV (about the same price). I'd prefer not to do this route just because i'd like to fit wireless speakers in multiple rooms and would prefer not to have to buy an AE in each of them.

So, long story short, there are wifi speakers, and they more or less have to be airplay compatible to play nice with iTunes and the iOS.
Maybe get one Express, hook it up to the main unit and get one of those wireless speaker systems to run of the 2nd speakers channel?
Don't know much about the Apple TV. If I would have to turn on the tv in order to be able to listen to music, I wouldn't want that myself. Not sure if that is the case when using an aTV though.
I just have an express hooked up to the audio unit in the living, but that does works well.
