No HDMI and wired rear speakers
What's a good cheap option for wireless rear speakers?
the PT 760. At time you can find it in the $300 range and it is a solid option with an included 6 disk changer, hdmi output and wireless rear speakers. GL
Wireless speakers suck. Haven't found a good set yet.
Wireless speakers just don't have the push wired speakers do. Just not enough power.
Agreed with 4 and 5. If you want proper speakers, you get wired speakers. Besides, even without the cable from the receiver, wireless rears still require power...so it's not like you're getting by without cables.
Very good HTIB, set it up in my bedroom and it is more than sufficient. However, I got it at shoponkyo.com (refurb) for only ~$140 shipped, which imo is an awesome deal. The refurb looks basically brand new minus a few barely noticeable scuffs on the speakers. Really sounds great using my optical digital audio cable (but yeah, no HDMI, oh well).
oh and get some 14 gauge wires for the fronts, center, and sub.
