Hi Victor, Lots of good information here. It's time to run out to the store. The question is, will purchasing an A / B switch, a small AMP, and a FM transmitter be more or less then purchasing a set of decent wireless speakers. The only thing i worry about with wireless speakers is interference. I have an A T&T cordless phone that runs on a 5 Point 8 GHZ frequency. I think most of the decent wireless speakers run on the same. What ever i decide to do, thanks for the info. Take care, Roger C Bachelder 3rd [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you can find a wireless set of speakers, then you should be fine, and will be able to listen to the two different sounds at the same time. Alternatively, you can also purchase an FM transmitter, have one source coming from one stereo, while the receiver broadcasts it's own source. Obviously, the FM transmitter would be connected to the computer, and your secondary stereo would be set to what ever FM channel you set on the transmitter. Would that work for you? I know that Rad Shack sells both the FM transmitter, and the wireless speaker systems, but I'm just not sure how much power you are looking at getting from this entire set up. I guess, depending on what kind of stereo you have sourcing the FM transmissions from the computer, you may be able to get the sound to a respectable level, while the receiver is broadcasting at the same time, it just depends on how much you're willing to spend, and how often you plan on listening to two sources at the same time. We have actually discussed this sort of thing on a Blind Movie Buffs list I help to run. The discussion centered around a list member who wanted to watch the described movies, which were solely audio files in MP3 or OGG format, while his sighted family was watching the movie with video. A great many of the members suggested the member listen to the movie at the same time as his family was watching it on an MP3 player, that way they could be listening to the movie with the video, while coinciding with the sound of the described movie coming through the member's MP3 player. Another suggestion was to place a CD with the MP3 file into an MP3 capable stereo sourcing the same audio of the movie, while muting the sound source from the video movie, that way all would here the entire thing at once. Like I said, there are many ways of doing this, but I think the FM transmitter, and/or the wireless speaker system coming from the computer are your best bet.
