This will be pretty lo-jack and extremely MacGuyver in nature, but bear with me.

 I have a a basic home entertainment setup (one sixty inch PAL standard flat panel with stereo out, a DVD player, a VCR, and an incomplete Samsung receiver/5-disc DVD player/5.1 setup without the prorietary wiring harnesses.) I've been asked to attach four extra speakers at a considerable distance- twenty to forty feet- to the unit. I have VERY limited resources to draw from as I am on an Army base in Kuwait. The speakers that would normally be run to the receiver are currently only being used as left and right channel directly from the TV and the rest are fair game- for now. My question is: how would I best implement these extra speakers at low cost/effort? I have two hundred feet of speaker wire available currently, I could purchase or "acquire" small speakers easily, and I *might* be able to get my hands on a basic soldering kit. My concern is wasting a great deal of effort and putting too much of a load on the audio for no return.

 My first thought was to make a basic terminal board for left/right channel from the TV and branch the speakers in parallel from there, leaving the possibilty for the 5.1 receiver to be repaired later and hooked up. Or is there an easier/better way?

Hi

If your idea of music around the office is a hi-fi system in the any area of office and portable systems everywhere else, you should consider a Multiroom audio solution. Discreet speakers, built into the walls or the ceiling, deliver the sound, while wall mounted control pads enable you to select the song or radio station you want to listen to, wherever you are in the office. It's depend on your supplier. Demonstration facilities  which will gives you the opportunity to try out different combinations of equipment before you make your decision.
