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?

4. Somewhat important. I would like to get a matching set, but what works best for my theater/space is of most importance. (HT room = LR room = WAF)


2. Currently, if you have surround speakers where are they located? If don’t have surrounds, why not?

1. Wall mounted (Concealed wires) (technically running along side edge of wall up ceiling, couldn't get in wall due to peak)


3. If there was a high quality wireless surround sound speaker available would you consider it for a home theater system?

2. Yes, I have a difficult room that doesn’t allow me to conceal the wires.


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?

4. Other (If I had the expertise I would run in wall power cables, but as is I wouldn't mind too much, I would just run a skinny cord up the wall.)


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)

3. Doesn’t matter


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?

4. The sound (of course!)

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?

>>Somewhat important. I would like to get a matching set, but what works best for my theater/space is of most importance.

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?

>>Other (Please explain) Depends on sound quality and how the system is powered. It would seem that wireless would be most important in places where hard-wiring isn't practical. Assuming a battery is involved... how long would the batteries list.... are replacements readily available? how much of a pain is it to change them? Is there a warning to let you know the batteries are nearly out of a charge? If it's a hard-wired electrical solution, I'd rather poke a hole in the wall and run speaker wires than have an unsightly electrical cord dangling from a speaker.

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?

>>Yes, I want a clean custom installed look, the power cords would be a deal breaker. (Unless I could hide them)


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)

>>Internal Power Supply, so it has an AC Power cord only.
If I couldn't run speaker wires, I'd try to put an electrical outlet in the speaker location and have the speaker cover the outlet and plug somehow. The speaker should have a recessed area to allow this.

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 of the speaker and a finish that looks like it matches fairly well.

SOUND > * !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Currently, if you have surround speakers where are they located? If don’t have surrounds, why not?

They're on very nicely matching stands right behind my couch off to the sides.

3. If there was a high quality wireless surround sound speaker available would you consider it for a home theater system?

Wireless, if done correctly, would be great to have. The problem is, the more wireless devices we have in our homes, the more likely it is that 2 of them will interfere or interrupt each other.

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?

I'd rather deal with outlets, which could be where you need them, than running speaker wire, which will inevitably require more work.

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)

I would like to enter this contest so here is my reply to the posted questions:


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?

6. Other - To have the finish match is of little importance to me, actually I have the rear surrounds painted the same color as the wall so that they are not so noticeable, I would like to replace them with inwalls at some point, as long as they do the job and do it well ,the finish is really not so important.


2. Currently, if you have surround speakers where are they located? If don’t have surrounds, why not?

1. Wall mounted (Concealed wires)-I pre-wired the HT room before sheet rock so all speaker wires are in fact concealed and the rear surrounds are wall mounted with a small shelf under them at approx 8 feet off the floor and 4 feet behind the sitting area, they are tilted down at 15 to 20 degrees to listening position.

3. If there was a high quality wireless surround sound speaker available would you consider it for a home theater system?

1. Yes, a wireless surround speaker would be great. I think the whole concept is fantastic and I would surely give it a go, happily :).



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?

1. No, I have outlets in all the right places, not all over the place. When I designed the room I made sure their were electrical outlets just about every where I would consider HT set-ups.

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)


2. Inline Power adapter such as Power Brick or Wall Wart with thin DC power cord going to the speaker.
4. Please explain- I fell strongly about this and believe that I would rather run the thinner DC wire to the speakers just for the neatness of install and the ability to conceal them.

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?

2. The size of the speaker- I would be concerned somewhat more as to the size, I could not have some enormous speaks hanging on the walls , so that would be very important.
4. The sound- Yet this aspect has to be number one, I know the surround sound does not have to be as precise as the fronts and center but lets face it we all want the very best sound quality possible when it comes to our HT and i would prefer the best sound i could get in all areas of my system, even the surrounds.

Thanks for the chance to win, good luck everyone, sawz..:)

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 really important –- after all, sound quality is what matters most. However, all else being equal, having a matching look would be nice for appearance sake -- again, after sound quality.

2. Currently, if you have surround speakers where are they located? On end tables.

3. If there was a high quality wireless surround sound speaker available would you consider it for a home theater system? Yes, I have a difficult room that doesn’t allow me to conceal the wires.

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 where I need them.

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? Doesn’t matter, whatever works best for the electronics to perform optimally.

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 quality and whether it would be compatible with my existing front speakers’ sound.
