The Cheaters Guide to "Wireless Home Theater Systems"Are wireless speakers Inferior to common Wired Home Audio Systems?Six reasons Wireless Home Theater Systems are NOT what you want for your Home Theater!1. Transmitter distance varies by manufacturer to manufacturer. I would like to give you a clear answer of how far a given wireless transmitter will respond -but they vary too much to be anywhere near reliable. 2. Sound quality will suffer because of the data transmission and additional Digital to Analog conversions taking place. The fact that the transmission is taking place wireless is not really the issue. But the transmitter takes the analog signal transmits to digital and then sends the signal to the receiver which transfers back to analog prior to amplification. This additional transmission WILL degrade the audio quality. Wireless speakers should only be used when convenience is the primary factor. 3. These wireless speaker systems were designed to help installers and home owners to place speakers where none could be installed before: Such as placing speakers on concrete walls without the need to drill holes in the concrete. Consumers usually want them because they think that if there are no cables then the installation will be easier -No cables no mess! Not true! 4. A decent set of wireless speakers are NOT wireless because you need a power cable going to a wall outlet to power the amplifier. 5. If you do find a completely wireless home theater speaker that run on batteries please save your time and money. They probably aren’t worth the plastic they are made out of. It is theoretically impossible to drive an amplifier, speaker driver, receiver and loudspeaker crossover on batteries. 6. Because of the above problems completely wireless speakers are notably underpowered and weak when it comes to sound quality. Most will need to be plugged into AC power.
Summary:Wireless Speaker Systems and wireless outdoor speaker systems are not a high sound quality option. Wireless technology should only be used where convenience is the driving factor. Such as difficult installations or needing to use a transportable speaker system.At the very best it really only eliminates one type of cable you will need. (RCA or speaker cables) For outdoor uses the wireless speaker is a great option and is probably the best use of the technology. Wireless Computer speakers are another good way to enjoy wireless technology but not in the normal bookshelf speaker application. You will achieve higher performance with a conventional speaker system.

Customer Testimonials:
"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.
My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA
"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.
Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.
I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.
The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.
I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.
The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.
These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)
"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn’t think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#110.159.58.99
"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 24.177.193.45
"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 130.225.22.254
"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 98.233.53.244
"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...
While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#76.208.13.182
"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 137.100.121.30
"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.
My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#98.179.199.26
"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.
Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142
"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!
I feel like I have stolen speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
