My best friend at work is the wrestling coach. He wants a portable speaker system he can set up in his wrestling room (maybe 40' square) for playing the national anthem before meets and music to introduce his wrestlers. He doesn't need a microphone, he just wants to play music off his iPod to speakers he can place around the perimeter of the room.

I've spent a modest amount of time looking online to no avail. I know there are a lot of "point source" boombox kinda speakers but he is fairly adamant about external speakers placed around the room.

I am his Mac guru (in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king) and would like to be able to answer his question.

Any suggestions from those of you with two eyes would be appreciated.

You might check these reviews if you haven't already.

Now, after hearing typical prices for wireless, he is telling me wired speakers will be fine.

Sheesh, the things I do for people sometimes...

Yeah... but once he hears those Klipsch......

Yowza.
