Audio Systems/wireless speaker

Question
Hi Cleggsan....currently I have a small shelf stereo speaker system that I play in my living room....mostly we just play cds, radio, and hook up the Ipad and Iphone on the aux line.  The issue is I simply want to hear whatever we're playing in the kitchen.  It is not far from the living room, but far enough where the sound wouldn't be great without another speaker.  I know we could wire speakers in...but I'm looking to see if there's a good wireless option.  Sound doesn't have to be perfect, just decent and one speaker would be fine.  I'd like to spend less than $500 and keep it relatively small.  Any thoughts on this would be great.  Thanks!

Answer
Sorry for the delay; been out of town a couple of days.

There are many choices for you.  Unfortunately, I do not make equipment recommendations simply because there are so many subjective factors involved in such a choice.

Here is my suggestion.  Got to google.com then click on the shopping tab at the top and search for "wireless speaker systems" and look through some that seem to be the ones that might to the job for you!.  That is maybe the best way to get started.

Hope this helps.
