Wireless Home Theater Systems

[Bickle76]

I could not find any discussion on the subject of a true wireless home theater system, so I've posted this thread....

It seems there aren't many products like this on the market except for Bose, which is very expensive, my range is $1,000 max. Perhaps the technology isn't made yet for my budget.

If anyone knows or heard of any legit systems, your thoughts would be appreciated....

When you say wireless are you referring to true 5.1 sans wires system or 5.1 withe wireless sub?

Ideally, just speakers that don't require any wires. Preferably a 5.1 setup. Any components that are not speakers that require power chords and are setup near the tv are fine, thanks

To my knowledge, at this time only Aperion makes such systems, and as expected, out of your price range. Also going wireless might make future upgrades difficult since there doesn't seem to be a standard between brands.

Is running speaker wires that complicated for you? There are ways to minimize the unaesthetic side of it.

Running speaker wire is a bit of a hassle for me, I'm sure I could figure it out, but dont want to invest to much time, just want something to carry me the next few years until I get a larger place. I'm not much of an audiophile, I think I would be content with 5.1 for at least 4-5 years.

Well if it is for a few years, but planning on moving, I wouldn't shop for now (unless you go for a cheap HTiB with wireless rears, the harder ones to wire obviously, and upgrade later). I would invest in a good 3.1 system for now and at a later date when you move complete your system. A good 3.1 is surprisingly satisfying and easy to wire.

3.1 sounds like a good idea. I like a classy design that blends more into the home as opposed to a high-tech look without the grill. I'm gonna do some research. Thanks for the feedback, let me know if you have any 3.1 suggestions....

Are you starting new or already have the receiver? Depending on your future needs you can always start with even a 2.0 system and build up when $ becomes available, that way, in the end, you have a much nicer system. Or even 3.0 if you don't want too much bass for now (depends on your living arrangements)

I have a 2.1 logitech "Z623", 200watts, 130watts sub. I like it except for annoying fact that I have to get up to change volume.

I'm going to look at recievers that are at least 5.1

Ok so starting new. What is your location though, US?

Yes, in US

Well with Black Friday around the corner I would try and find the best deals (I'm from Canada so don't know where or what will be good) Maybe look at the BF deals section to start.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, this could be good timing.

Aperion has a true 5.1 SS setup, and Dynaudio does have a 2-ch/multi-ch wireless setup, much more expensive that they launched over a year ago.
