    Wireless Transmitter Options for Rear Speakers

    I am relocating my HT setup to a location where it's not feasible to run speaker wire to the two rear speakers in a 5.1 setup.

    Is anyone here using a wireless transmitter of sorts to eliminate the distance cabling from the receiver to the two rear speakers? I've come across products from Amphony and Rocketfish, but would like to hear a few testimonial reviews of these products, knowing the quality of Aperion 4B speakers.

    Best and Happy Holidays,
    Evan

    I have the Rocketfish wireless product installed.  It's sending the sound to two rear 5Bs. Setup was simple and it works fine.

    The only issue is when you set up your AVR.  Although my 5Bs are rougly 8 feet from my listening position my Yamaha AVR saw them as being close to 20 feet because of the lag. With the distance set property (I just went with what my AVR was happy with) I haven't had a problem and you'd never know they were wireless.

    The Rocketfish (BestBuy's brand) is the only one I tried.  I gave them a try before I spend a fortune trying to get wiring back there and figured that I'd just return if it didn't work out. Give them a try but save the receipt just in case.

    If you can't have fun doing it, it's probably not worth doing.

    Do you mean that you left the AVR set at 20' or that you corrected the AVR to the actual distance of 8 feet?

     

    Thanks!
