I am not sure. Do you have two now? If so, it won't hurt to try.

Although you might like this idea better. Get a FM transmitter. They
have further range and works with any FM device. Like stereos, MP3
players with FM, FM headsets, etc.

XP supports sound output from all the fitted output devices. This will
include 2 pairs of bluetooth speakers.

Note: that if you foolishly upgrade to either Vista or Vista.1 (otherwise
known as Windows 7), then the answer will be 'No' as Vista only supports one
sound output device at a time.

Nope. XP treats all sound devices as separate devices.

Check in the Sounds and Audio part of the control panel. On the 'Audio' tab
check that the 'Use only default devices' box is not checked. While there
you can also check that the system has recognised your second sound system.
