Hi guys
Not sure which subforum this should go in so I have cross-posted.
Essentially, with Black Friday on the horizon, I want to set up a high quality surround sound system in a Spa.
I would like to play a combination of downloaded sound files, audio from youtube videos and various sound files from Apps (ideally Apple but alternatively Android). I would ideally like 4 (but if necessary only 2) speakers which can provide sound in a stereo format (if 4 speakers are involved then two of them would be "L" and two "R"). I need a very stable connection since Bluetooth doesn't seem to work well in the spa.
I thought that the best way to do this was to control things through an IPad mini and stream via SONOS to four speakers however this turned out to be a complete disaster. The speakers are difficult to group in the way that I wanted, the Sonos App is extremely limited in what can be palyed through it (you can link, for unstance, a spotify account but not downloaded sound files). Youtube can't be played through it (there is a third person workaround but it is extremely slow and buggy) and even trying to play files directly from the IPad via airplay is atrociuous - extremely slow and only picks up two speakers at a time.
Consequently, I am looking for a system that is wired (or has a very strong wireless connection), is flexible and multi-speaker that I can configure.
Would anybody have any suggestions to point me in the right direction?
Many thanks in advance
