Wireless Home Theatre?

I've got a bit of a dilemma...

We finally got the Wall Unit for our Living Room (in our new Condo) and now I'm ready to mount my Bose 5.1 speaker system (the little cubes). The Fronts and Center are no problem, but setting up the Rears is the challenge.

Running the wires would be a HUGE pain (and the wife WILL castrate me if I try to leave the wires on the floor like I had in our old home), so I was hoping there'd be a decent Wireless option out there.

Anyone have any experience with such things?

Thanks much.

How about under the carpet? Do you have base molding that you could run the wires under?

Be a man and run them through the walls, ceiling, flooring, under carpet, whatever. It's not that hard.
 

Wireless will suck. When you turn on the microwave the sound interference will drive you nuts. Plus you will probably pick up peoples cordless phones on it and all. Yuck.

You can probably stuff the wire right under the wall ontop of the carpet and run them along there. You will still have the wire going up from the ground to the speaker, but for that you can try using some sort of adhesive and then painting it to the color of the wall.

Yeah, I would really reconsider doing a wireless home theatre. Find a way to run the wires under the molding, carpet, in the ceiling, or wall.

I'm never tried it so I can't say how well it would work but you could try some speaker wire like this. Use some adhesive to stick it to the wall and paint over it and you're golden.

Bah, I bought a pair of Speaker stands and I'll just run the wires along the bottom corner of the wall to the back of the couch.

Thanks for the replies (that superflat wire option looks promising though, I'll have to check that out.)
