Well, the question is are his stock wireless, as in they get their wireless signal straight from the receiver? Do they plug in or run off a battery? What wattage are they?

There aren't a ton of really great-sounding wireless speakers out there, unfortunately.

The dream of wireless high-performance speakers is still unfulfilled, ...
Despite the promise, wireless speakers still need wires--they need to be plugged into the wall outlet for power, at the very least.

Based on what I've heard and what I've read, I just wouldn't recommend wireless surrounds yet. But, if they fit your needs, budget, and sound good enough for you, then go for it..

Hey thanks guys. I'm kind of MIA around here lately cos it's finals crunch time. I'll probably attack this problem during Christmas break, starting Dec. 17. So far, I'm thinking flat wire under the carpet. Going around the perimeter is possible, but it would require going through multiple rooms.

Get DeWire. It's super flat. You could run it along the botton of the wall above the base boards then paint over it or under the carpet and no one would feel it.

Cool, I'll check it out. BTW, this will be running DIRECTLY ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR. Going around the perimeter of the room is out of the question.

Is the carpet attached to the floor?
