I don't need more than a couple speakers because it's going in a small room, and I need it to be able to hook up to a Sony Walkman.


Answer
Simply get yourself some good powered speakers and you will have a nice little system, just choose wisely. I would recommend if your on a budget a pair of Tannoy 501a's which are $179 each. Very natural and musical.

Hello, I am looking for a good speaker system that I can mount on walls around my room. I want a wireless speaker system that i can connect my iPhone or computer to and play music. I pretty much only listen to rap music so I want them to be nice quality. Thank you


Answer
First off when you say best that leaves the door wide open as its endless what you can spend on quality speakers. Second there are no good sounding wireless speakers not to mention very limited in choices.

Wireless speakers are not completely wireless anyway as they require power.

So with that said, your better off buying speakers that require speakerwire (passive)or line level and power (active) and discovering a way to get the appropriate wire to them, then your choices are limitless.

If your on a budget I would suggest getting a pair of Tannoy 501a active speakers, for under $400 they produce a very natural dynamic and musical sound for the money. They require line level and power as they are active speakers.

Answer
That's a pretty hefty price in U.S Dollars, I can't say for pounds. The GPU is decent and the amount of RAM isn't bad either.

If I were to purchase it I'd check around at newegg.com and see if you can get a much better deal.
