wirelessly send audio to rear speakers

[mercury187]

Not sure if this is the best solution, if anyone has a better solution I'm open to suggestions. We bought our first house and the living room is really rectangular and has a fireplace right in the middle. I drew a rough layout in mspaint that looks pretty close to the proportion of the living room and where I thought I would put my couch and recliner. The only problem is that the rear speakers are not near a wall, it may look like in the layout I tried to draw but there's at least 3 feet so mounting them to a wall would be way too far away. I was wondering what people have done on here. Should I look into some kind of way to wirelessly send the audio to the rears? I know its only april but it would be nice to have the front window open to showcase a nice christmas tree come christmas time
Thanks in advance for any info/suggestions.

Don't go wireless.

Do you have access to a basement or attic? If so, you may want to consider stands or ceiling mounts. You can run your speaker wires above or below the room and then have them connect to the speakers. If you don't, you can hide the speaker wires under an area rug between your AV cabinet and couch.

If you look up crazyBlue's HT gallery, you will see a great job he has done with hiding his wires without running them in wall or ceiling because of his condo living situation.

Just a couple options. Let us know if you have any questions.

I see what you mean, putting down a nice looking rug and then running wires under that would probably work out just fine, didn't even think of that, thanks!

Are these type of stands pretty good: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Whalen+F...52vs&cp=1&lp=1

BBXL52VS at bestbuy is the best one we've seen so far, we figured with that we could mount it on the swivel and maybe tilt it if we have more people over or something, and that would leave room below the tv for the center speaker (which is balancing on top of the tv with 2 stands behind it right now).

Coming from an apartment I can wait to crank the bass up on movie night!

That looks like a nice rack if you want an open concept. Just make sure it will fit everything you currently own and maybe one or two additional devices as you expand.

Thanks Hammie, we dont have much, I suppose it would be nice to know that my onkyo 605 will fit. 360 and ps3 and cable box should have no problem.
