wireless speaker adaptor, cost effective.

Hi.

I have a set up that i am happy with in one room. I have a media PC, NAS box and a panasonic VSx amp all on the same NW.

I can control all the devices using apps on my android phone/tablet.
I can select a song, or playlist from my phone over wifi and fully control the PC using winremote.

It's all good enough for me.

My Amp has a basic app too, i can adjust the volume and change the inputs and zones etc.
My amp can have up to three zones, I'm using just 1. I have a spare sent of speaker terminals at the back I can use

I'd like to use a second stereo zone currently not wired up, I have two nice monitor bookshelf speakers that I'd like to connect up in my kitchen (next to the amp room)

There are no cables for this. Can anyone recommend something cost effective (not sonos) way to connect the two stereo speaker speakers via a wireless arrangement. I have all the technology to control them just no cable. I will be able to get power to the new speaker locations so I could power up the wireless receivers.

I'd like something that people experienced working, i have seen options but i don't want to spend money on something that wont work all the time and I think this solution has the potential to be temperamental.
I was just looking for a way to get the most of what i have and get multi room functionality from it without spending 1000 euro on something like sonos, great and all as it looks, I actually have a lot of the tec functions already, I just need the seamless wifi stereo transmission.

thanks in advance.

If you have an attic, run speaker cables up to it and to the next room. That would be option A.

Option B would involve a converter to drop the speaker terminal voltage to line level then feed that to a wirelass transmitter. At the other end you will need the wireless receiver and an amp to boost the output of that to drive the speakers if they aren't active. Amp would need a volume control.

Option C would be something like B, except bypassing the amp and getting an Apple airport express for the kitchen and an amp with the music coming straight from the PC via iTunes.

If I had an attic I'd have the cables in ages ago

I would rather go for the Sonas option than Apple. I have the facility but don't run itunes anywhere on my nas or any PC i own, so that's apple out of the question.

I have a nice but old NAD stereo Amp that I could use in the kitchen and my wife has various apple products that could be linked to that, but I'd like to have it on the one system.

I was hoping for a method that would allow me to maintain control over the volume of the zone using the application on my phone Panasonic application, that would be a direct audio sender, something like this

but that someone has seen working, the speakers i have are not active and would need juice at their end, maybe such a device is not available, I'm assuming that the device i linked to would not have the power to move the coil in my speakers sufficiently.
