I am planning on buying an extigy and inspire 5300 speaker set. According to the pictures in the 5.1/4.1 speaker article there are no wires. Nothing on any of their website indicates that you need to do any wiring. I just wanted to make sure that the sattelite speakers are wireless.

thanks for your help


In war the idea is not to die for your country, it's to make the other bastard die for his.

No, they're wired. I don't think wireless speakers exist, since the amount of electricity pumping through the air would probably cause cancer (seriously).

If wireless speakers did exist, you wouldn't be pumping electicity into the air but a radio signal carrying digital information for the speakers to process and convert to audio. You could probably run the speakers on Lithium or Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. The only problem right now is that the batteries wouldn't last very long, especially at maximum volume.

Since batteries wouldn't last long (as you said), I would assume that wireless speakers would have a powered signal transmitted. But since the technology doesn't exist in the marketplace, it's just conjecture.

The technology to trasmit power wirelessly doesn't exist on the market so there's no point to talk about something that's years away.

The technology supposedly exists, but any useful amount of power would give you cancer, which is why it's not marketable.

Actually, several companies have wireless speakers out.

OK, so they do have a power cord, but you're not stretching speaker wire across the room for your rear channels.

Gee...if I'd been a jock instead of a geek I could have had a career fliping burgers!!!

Would it make you feel better if I did a couple of backflips?
