Polk and Definitive Technology, sister companies under the Sound United umbrella, a have both announced multi-room audio systems that use DTS DTSs Play-Fi technology. Similar in function to Apple Apples AirPlay, Play-Fi and these speakers will let you stream music throughout your house with minimal setup.

Products in the two families include wireless speakers, soundbars, connected amps, and more.

DTS

Play-Fi, announced last year, works over your current WiFi network. It allows you to stream music from your PC and the web (via Pandora Pandora, Spotify, etc), to multiple speakers.

Sonos works similarly, but is a closed ecosystem (you can only use Sonos products. Apples AirPlay also does the same thing, but not everyone loves Apple. Also, you have to spend a fair amount to get a decent sounding AirPlay speaker.

Polk

Polks new line is called the Omni Wireless Music System. At launch there are five products.

Omni S2 ($179): A small wireless speaker designed for bedside or a small space like a bathroom. It has two 2-inch drivers and two passive radiators. A USB connection will charge your phone.
