As someone who used to do all this kind of stuff, what I settled on in the end was having a subwoofer and two speakers on a desk with a 3.5mm cable strewn across in case anyone wanted to use it. I mostly gave up on wireless this and that and constantly on electronics doing things in the background. Now I just watch shows on my laptop, keep my media on a 2.5" sata HDD with a sata to USB cable, and be sure to copy anything I've downloaded onto it every once in a while. I keep it simple, I'm now of the opinion that if you spend more time administering than using software it's not worth it. And to me, the amount of time I'd put into setting this stuff up, troubleshooting, updating software and whatever else just doesn't make up for having to plug things in when I need to.
