we want to setup an extra room as living room for the kids, to free our own living room for the parents (kids grow up...)
basically, I want to :
1. let the kids listen to music via the iPad
2. let them watch movies on a beamer via the iPad
I would like to use airplay speakers for option 1 and the usual AV cable to attach the ipad to the beamer, but :
a) I do NOT want to have a double-speaker setup (one set of speakers for music, one for movies)
b) I would like the airplay speakers to be ipad-dockable (but this is not a must)
I don't mind having to connect the airplay speakers via cable when watching a movie, since I think it's impossible on the ipad 1 to play a movie via AV cable while sending the audio via airplay
any suggestion ? Should I buy an appleTV and attach that to the speakers/beamer ? But which speakers should I use ? I visited an apple store, but they had so many speakers and the salespeople had little knowledge of this kind of setup...
