Hello, I am loomking for some suggestions please.

I am moving soon and the new property will require a new set up for my PC and speakers. My main problem is that the PC (and 7.1 surround sound speakers) will be in the study (upstairs), whilst we will want to listen to music contained on the HDD whilst downstairs in the lounge. We don't want to upset the neighbours, so simply turning the speakers up is not an option. We want to entertain guests in the lounge and not necessarily the study. I know there are several options available but each at a different cost, quality and pros/cons.

The other thing is that it would be nice if we could benefit from using whatever solution is most practical (in terms of speakers) for the TV in the lounge.

I know of the:

* Logitech Wireless DJ Music System (but would need to buy a hifi)
* Logitech Z-5450 Digital 5.1 Speaker System 315 W RMS THX Dolby Digital & DTS (have no idea how I would set this up to work in a room on a different level of the house)

Any suggestions?

The question is, do you have an Xbox 360?

Sounds a daft question but this is how i get my music from the "study" to the stereo downstairs from my hdd. Works great, just needs a half decent router to connect the two together and a PC with media center (vista works too).

As far as speakers and stereo go, you can pick up a decent stereo at not a lot of money these days.

Thanks for your response! No I don't have an Xbox 360, but it seems like a nice idea. I do have Windows Media Center installed on my Windows Vista Home Premium PC and a wireless network.

What speakers would you suggest? Best quality/cost ratio?
