"Wireless" surround sound speakers most often refers to a 5.1 channel home theater surround sound system
that eliminates the long speaker wires that would otherwise run
between the A/V receiver and the two side/rear sound sound effects
speakers.
Less Wire?Instead of
purchasing, cutting, fishing, terminating, and hiding two long
speaker cables to connect the left and right rear surround
speakers to the home theater receiver, wireless transmission technology is used to
transmit surround effects wirelessly. One possible disadvantage is that setting up "wireless" surround
sound speakers requires more AC power outlets (please plug into surge protection first) than a "conventional"
hard-wired speaker system because wireless surrounds must each provide their own power amplification.
Looking for no-compromise performance from a 5.1 surround sound speaker
system with "wireless" surrounds? Consider setting up a KEF KHT 5005 home theater speaker system using the speaker package,
wireless add-ons, and speaker stands pictured to the right. Of course, you will have to shop for your home theater receiver and
components separately, and will still need to purchase enough speaker wire for the left, center, and right front speakers, as well as a subwoofer cable.
