Converting old speakers to wireless?

[fidgiegirl]

We have some quality older speakers from the 80s or early 90s. I'd like to keep them, but also want wireless. Anyone somehow converted older speakers into wireless speakers? I am also doing other Internet research on it but if anyone has a starting point, it would be appreciated.

Never done it, but I should think it boils down to transmitters and receivers. I may have to do some research myself, it sounds interesting.

I use a small 30-year-old amplifier, and an Apple Airport Express that I bought refurbed from the Apple Store. This lets me stream audio to the speakers using AirPlay from iTunes, Pandora, and Spotify, and life is good. It's very handy, my household is very musical, and my wife, daughter, and I are often discussing various composers, works, and performances, and this lets anyone whip out an iPhone, iPad, or sit down at one of the computers, and bam, the music under discussion starts coming out of the speakers in the living room/kitchen.

Hmmm, in doing my research I see I need to become familiar with all the terms, like I don't really get the difference between an amplifier and a receiver, etc.

This was the first thing I found that sounded somewhat promising: modeca.hubpages.com/hub/wireless-speaker-converter-kit

We want it for movies that may be played on the TV . . . but I guess we could just as well play those movies on the computer.
