recxjake · 03-14-2006, 08:12 PM

Anyone know if they make these... prices... or how they speakers get power to them???

I'm looking to get some of they are available... i don't want cords all over the room......

Curcuit City has them. Some work some don't from what I hear. My guess is that the higher the price the better quality youre gonna get. Thats probably not too much help but its the best I can give you.

do you know how the speakers get power??? I'd assume that batteries don't cut it...

I think the speakers are powered by an a/c adapter and the sound is transmitted to the speakers by an RF frequency.

If you're an audiophile, forget about it. You sacrifice a ton of sound quality for convenience.

If you just like surround sound, without a particularly discerning ear, go for it.

You might PM C-Mac. Dude is an expert in that field. It's his business. Baby Lee is good too.

You plug in the transmitter that the speakers run off of, you dont plug in your speakers. You can still put your speakers on the ceiling.

I used to have a pair of wireless rear speakers. I dropped about 3 bills on them. I don't recommend them.

But, this was 3-4 years back. I used to recommend against wireless networking as well. Now I'm typing this to you over a wireless connection. Perhaps wireless speakers have improved as much as wireless networks.

i guess im just really stupid.... but how does the speaker get power to play the sound?!

I have never personally heard a pair but wireless speakers are regarded as being pretty shitty. You still have to plug them into the wall and if they run off batteries they will have even less power.

Just run the speaker wire under the carpet or around the molding. I have done that in my past few apartments and its not a big deal.

Use real speakers and try one of these:
