Need feedback for my Surround sound idea please...

I've started developing a product that will deliver wireless audio to
two seperate amps at 24bit/192KHz audio quality. Total audio path would
deliver about .05% THD. The power (to each speaker unit) would be
capable of 160 Watts.
The system would consist of one RF transmitter (one unit) attached to
TV/Reciever/DVD, etc... and two seperate receivers (one for each
speaker). Each one would have to plug into an A/C outlet of course.
Each reciever would be small enough that you could 'velcro' or
two-sided-tape it to the back of your existing speaker.
What do you think?

So how do you control the audio (Levels, tone, DSP effects,...)with
this puppy? The line level outputs on my receiver(S) are before signal
modification.
Why not make it WiFi/100base-t compatible?

There will be no DSP, no processor, no tone adjust. This will be a
virtual pipe, or 'wire'. The level will be controlled form your volume
on the device that is sending the audio out (dvd player, etc). If you
want to change tone, etc, you change it at the source. THis will be
simply, a high quality pipe. Hence, No DSP.
Another reason not to add these things, is latency. You want to
audio travel time to be a short at possible. So, no software... just
hardware. This way, the speaker WITH wires, will still be in sync with
the wireless speakers.

ALso, with wifi/networking solutions, there is always a lot of
overhead, redundancy, packet re-requests, etc... (which adds to the
propagation delay).

The whole idea, is so people can get away with not running wires, and
still get the high wattage associated with todays surround sound
systems, But still get the sound quality desired in home entertainment
audio.
Face it, todays wireless surround sound is about 20 watts x 2. IF
you purchased an entire system, you could get as much as 50 watts x
2... but you use their equipment. However, this 'virtual wire' would be
able to deliver more than 4x CD quality, to your existing speakers, at
160 watts of power.

- do you think their would be a market?
