Airport Express and speakers

[LandyMan]

Morning all,

So my wife being the honey that she is, she decided to get me an Airport Express and speakers for Father's Day.

Now the question begs, what would you guys suggest ito speakers? This specific express will be used in the lounge/patio ... So I might be looking at wireless speakers (for the patio area). Any ideas, suggestions and what not?

Thanks

Oh, and if I go with a proper speaker setup, I guess I will need something like the Stereo connection kit from Apple?

I'd get something you can also dock an iPod into as well as the Airport Express. Something along the lines of http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6490_7-6241895-1.html ?

I'm a fan of the audioengine A5 that can be had from the iStore in Clearwater. Works like a dream with the Airport Express.
The beauty is that everything comes in the box to connect your ipod. You can add the universal dock if you want to, but you don't need it.

That looks pretty cool - what does one of those set you back locally?

Retails for about R3,000.00. No problems with power or quality either.

hi, the apple website says that the Airport extreeme USB port can handle printers & external storage, I doubt it, but i have to ask, can this USB port connect my USB tvTuner(connected through the usb port) wirelessly to my PC? anyone know?
