1. How important is it to you to match the look of the surround sound speakers with the front speakers in a 5.1 or 7.1 system?
Not important. My surround speakers are on the other side of the room so it doesn’t really matter if they all match or not.


2. Currently, if you have surround speakers where are they located? If don’t have surrounds, why not?
Wall mounted (Concealed wires)


3. If there was a high quality wireless surround sound speaker available would you consider it for a home theater system?
No there is no reason for high quality surround speakers since most of the sound comes from the front channels. Surround add-ons that cost 150 would be better spent on upgrading the quality of the speakers

4. Wireless speakers have the amplifiers built in and so they need to be plugged into the wall for power. Would this limit you from considering wireless surrounds?
No, I have outlets all over the place.

5. When you buy audio electronics, some products use an inline power adapter (“Power Brick”/”Wall Wart”). If you are considering a wireless speaker for surrounds and where you’d place them, which would you prefer? (Please choose one)

Inline Power adapter such as Power Brick or Wall Wart with thin DC power cord going to the speaker. White color and flat would be nice

6. If you were looking for a surround speaker to match your existing front speakers but had to buy another brand, what features would be the most important to you?
The sound
