Wireless Rear Speakers?

[OSULugan]

Looking to expand my home theater setup to go to 5.1 surround sound. I don't want to run wires for the rear speakers right now, so I'm interested in what wireless rear speakers are out there that are any good. I'm having a hard time finding anything decent.

Any recommendations from the group?

I would get a wireless speaker kit (basically a transmitter and receiver), and pair it with one of the many good sounding available powered speakers. More speaker choice this way, and some really good powered bookshelf monitors can be had for cheap.

I would second this, but JAG do you have any recommendations on models for kits? I'm looking for this too, I know BB sells some from its Rocketfish house brand, but any other options?

I don't have any experience with them, but whatever you do stay away from anything that uses 2.4 Ghz! Go maybe with one that transmits at 5.8Ghz.

Although wireless speakers are not a new technology as far as I know they still are not up to speed and you get lag from these speakers, but look up Sonos they are popular.
