So is this basically competition for an Airport Express connected to a computer and powered speakers? From the description you would need at least two of the components to send music to another set of speakers (either the Wireless USB or iPod Transmitter and the Amplified or Standard receiver). The only advantage I can imagine to this set up is if you can use a universal remote to control playback.
