Is it possible to convert a home theatre system to wireless?
to avoid having wires all over the place with the risk of tripping over them, is it possible to convert at least the two big rear speakers to become wireless somehow e.g., are there transmitter/receivers you can plug the speakers into that send the signal to the main unit?
I already have a system but want to find a way to have the two big rear speakers operating wireless (no problem connecting to mains socket, but don’t want wires running across the floor to the main box)
I use the Rocketfish Universal Wireless Rear Speaker Kit (TM). It’s a Best Buy product that goes for about $100. You connect your rear speakers to this 6"x8" box that plugs into the wall. It receives the signals from a smaller box that connects to the rear speaker posts on the receiver. It works great. No delay, interference, humming, etc. I don’t know what your speakers are like power-wise, but I have rather small rear speakers (Polk RM6751s) and they sound great.

Yes there are some home theatre systems with wireless rear speakers but they usually need to be plugged into a wall outlet for A/C power or if they’re rechargeable, you’ll need to eventually plug them into a wall outlet to recharge anyway.

rocket fish makes one, but the power it produces is very low.
I suggest a nice rug instead.

You can get wireless speakers or wireless rear speakers in some all in one "Theater-in-a-box" systems.
Wireless is buggy and expensive. I would suggest either spending the money having someone run the wire or you can purchase flat speaker wire that sticks to your base molding from Cables To Go (and I am sure other places) http://www.cablestogo.com
If you have a crawlspace below the room or attic above it running a pair of wires to the rears is a few hours of work. And the quality and reliability will be worth it.
