here is the current setup:

stereo audio source -> 2-wire speaker cable -> speaker 1 -> 2-wire speaker cable -> speaker 2

as you can see, it is currently only wired for mono sound. the first speaker cable is the problem as it goes through several walls and several floors, so it would be a huge hassle and cost quite a bit to run another wire from audio source to speaker 1. is there any way i can use this existing cable to get stereo sound from these two speakers? i am thinking perhaps of some devices that analog signal to a digital signal over cable wire, and then back to stereo?

example:

stereo audio source -> signal encoding box -> 2-wire speaker cable -> signal decoding box -> 2 2-wire speaker cables -> speaker 1 and 2

if not, then perhaps i need to look into something wireless? again i dont necessarily need wireless speakers, but a pair of wireless boxes that can get a stereo signal wirelessly from the audio source to the two wired speakers. i only want to go wireless as a last option however, as i dont trust it to be reliable

example:

stereo audio source -> wireless transmitter -> wireless receiver -> 2 2-wire speaker cables -> speaker 1 and 2

thanks
