Nice idea, but they would need their own amplifiers.  Not so easy to do in
wet door spaces, small cavities, etc.  It takes a certain amount of power to
push the air so we can hear sounds of the quality we expect (nice bass),
maybe with improved efficiency . . .

I imagine it's only a matter of time before wireless speakers are available?
