iPod-ready 2-channel x 2 room music system for under $600?
My parents, who aren't audiophiles, need to put a 2-channel music system in 2 rooms (total of four speakers, playing the same music). They were considering putting a Bose Wave in one room and just cranking it up a bit for parties/etc.
The Bose Wave + iPod dock is $600. It seems to be there has to be a way to get a decent iPod-compatible and four decent bookshelf speakers for around that price. However, I'm not knowledgeable about any brands that offer much at that price (none of you may be either). Any ideas?

Hi Andrew
Bose and Sony are both coming out with multi-room and wireless products.
The Sony store in Palo Alto has some setup but they sounded like crap to me. I have yet to test the Bose wireless system.
Another idea is to have a central music system (ipod or HD) that streams through wifi and played through existing entertainment system. more expensive and complicated.
I'd go with Bose. When it comes to boombox type of stereo, few do it better.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I think your parents would want a compact and neat package. Which is where a typical stereo setup doesn't work as well. Better go test out these setups at best buy. They are doing a 10% off this weekend for their reward zone customers. I am shopping for a ipod system myself.
