Especially for you posters who took the time to reply. Your comments were very helpful. So ....not really having the money right now to get an amp and separate receiver with a 3.5 mm or USB input, I simply bought two monster speaker cables with pin type ends, ran them into the wall unit and the the other ends into the old kenwood stereo. Voila! The whole house speakers play what's on the stereo. Granted, I can't risk pushing the volume or put the speakers through their paces, but they DO work and the sound is fine for background ambient music in each room. I think I will save up for the amp and receiver with a USB input. Then the iPod or I pad music will go straight it. My research shows that some of the bluetooth receivers are good but many not. But very few issues with simple USB connected receivers. Your assistance is very appreciated. Thanks.
