Any ideas for wireless solutions linking a mac to a stereo and speakers and tv to stereo?

we have just moved house and need wireless only solutions around the house in connecting a mac (osx 10.4) to a sony hifi in a different room to link up and play itunes through the stereo. we need a wireless modem and adaptor to connect to broadband as phone line is in a separate hallway. we also would like a wireless connection from our samsung (new) tv to the same stereo to again play sound through the speakers. also are there any decent wireless speakers for a mac as ideally we would like speakers for the same room where the mac is and also our bedroom. i have looked at airport express etc and visited many shops but am baffled with it all. sounds a lot i know but please advise in plain english exactly how everything would work and cost. all the above has to be reasonably good quality but also affordable.

I know i already stated it is a mac so must be mac compatible, if you do not know this please don't answer the question. Cheers.Any ideas for wireless solutions linking a mac to a stereo and speakers and tv to stereo?
Your stereo would have to be part-computer to be able to receive a wireless signal, I haven't heard of such a device except, well, another computer.



Instead of transmitting from your current Mac, you could buy a Mac Mini or even a G4 Cube and use that as a media centre - people do this already. There is also the AppleTV but I don't really know anything about what that does, I imagine it's for playing back videos from a hard drive direct to your TV.



There are numerous articles out there on how to turn a Mac into a media centre, here's one I found straight away -Any ideas for wireless solutions linking a mac to a stereo and speakers and tv to stereo?
