http://www.wireless-experts.com/products/images/pdf/new/IWAVC.pdf

Very simple amp say 20-35W with some form of volume trim for left
and right channels. Phono In. People will probably want to tuck
this away either in floor, wall or ceiling so needs to be small and
relatively cool. If power supply is separate then this too needs to
be thought through so it can be hidden.
SlimP3 are ideal for inexpensive distributed audio systems, and make
so much more sense then the £2k+ alternatives. I am sure there is a
market here.
