Adam's Reviews
Only at Best BuyEnjoy vibrant CD-quality audio with this Rocketfish~ RF-WHTIB wireless rear speaker kit, which features a wireless range up to 100' for clear transmission. Multiple placement options allow flexible use.
Posted by: Adam
I purchased a complete Klipsch 5.1 surround system with a Sony 7.1 1015W receiver. The rear surround speakers are wired and it is not possible for me to run the wires from the receiver location to the back of the room without them being visible or having to use cable ducts. I thought I could just return the rear speakers and get the wireless set, but I soon learned that the wireless ones cannot be used as surround speakers.
The helpful blueshirt recommended the Rocketfish wireless rear speaker kit for my application. I was skeptical of the sound quality thinking the sound delay would be too noticeable and weak. I didn't have another option so I gave it a shot. I already ran wiring, 120VAC and 16G Monster speaker wire, from RR and LR so setting up the wireless kit was done in 10 minutes.
I don't claim to be an expert in music or sound but I know what sounds good and I cannot tell a difference between using the wireless kit and having the rear speakers directly wired to my receiver. There is no hiss, no noticeable delay, no interference and since the wireless receiver has a built-in AMP, it's more than powerful enough to run both of my rear speakers. As a matter of fact, using this kit gives me a little more control over volume, as the wireless receiver has its own volume nob. I can control the rear volume independently through my receiver, so the last point really wasn't a big selling point for me but it's nice to have.
I wish I didn't have to run speaker wire from left to right, but for me it wasn't that much more work. So far, that is the only con I have found with this system. I am thoroughly pleased and would recommend this to anyone even if they don't need their rear speakers to be wireless.

I would recommend this to a friend!
