Is anyone using or tried the wireless units from LG or BB Rocketfish.I know it's not the correct way, but it's a way in a cramped space.

I live in an apartment and hiding wire and having a toddler trying to pull on said wire is a big pain. Thanks for any incite.

I totally understand your situation, but removable wire tracks and throw rugs can hide a lot of the cabling.

I would not trust wireless for speaker duties.

Just my two cents.

Hammie, can you recommend good removable wire tracks?

Personally, I've never used any. I know there are ones at places like Home Depot that come with double sided tape, or screw options.

There are also options for wires run across a floor where it is a rubber channel that creates a slight hump. Another option is a track that sits along the baseboard.

Sorry that I could not be more help.

I had the rocketfish for a while. It worked well, but I could tell the sound was not as crisp when they were wired directly. Also the kit is underpowered and at the beginning of transformers 2 my rear speakers were clipping which really frustrated me. Other than that I had very few issues. The system is very easy to hide which was a huge waf for me.

I use the Rocketfish to run speakers in my kitchen for music (signal is sent from a receiver in my living room) - works pretty well on a small set of sony sb-1000s - however, it does pick up interference from the microwave (no surprise), but other than that, its seems to have plenty of power to run a small set of speakers

...and on a plus side - if we want music out on the deck, I simply unplug and have to move only two small speakers and the small amp
