Please ask me for my google inspired wisdom on shit I know nothing about. Actually, you don't even have to ask.
I'm on the hunt for some new speakers of the wireless variety. The idea is to get rid of all the cords hanging out of my iMac bar one (the power cable).

I tried a bluetooth adapter but the sound quality was horrible, it would disconnect when I used skype (no idea why) and there was annoying audio delay during video playback.

I think the new apt-x standard might solve the sound quality issues though not sure about the others.

I've had a look at Airplay enabled speakers but it's not clear whether I can push audio from multiple applications to the speakers at once. Can anyone clear that up for me?

The speakers I've been eyeing are the:

Philips Fidelio Soundsphere DS9800W



Nocs NS2 Air Monitors



Audio Pro Living LV2e

If you can find a set of speakers with a USB port, you don't even have to use an additional power adapter for the receiver.

I had no idea such speakers existed.

well this is certainly interesting... the locally designed (if you're in the Portland area) direct-sale speaker company. Aperion Audio seems to be entering the powered bookshelf market. It looks like this could be a compelling competitor to the AudioEngine 5's.

These look like good speakers.

I currently have Creative ZiiSound T6 speakers and one of the best features is being able to switch inputs with a remote. They don't have an optical input but they have USB input instead.

May look at replacing the Creative's with these.

They look awfully similar to the Addon T8's http://www.audiopro.com/products/addon-t8
