We are currently working on an addition to our house which will include a new back patio with a bar/firepit etc. In addition, we want to install outdoor speakers so we can play music outside. We have gone through several patio stores where they have models that have outdoor speakers, but they use car radios that are mounted in the bar area.

What we are looking for it a speaker system where we can stream music from any computer in the house to the outside. Originally we thought of the Apple Aiportexpress because you can connect a stereo to it and use AirPlay from itunes and Apple Tv. This cannot be an option because we would have to use the airport express as our router, which is a little more complicated than we want to deal with.

Any ideas?
