Least worst option for connecting existing speakers wireless for rear surround

[Kingnoob]

Reference level depends on what distance it is at and how long, 5 feet vs 16 feet is a huge difference, lol.

Yeah I can see why the low sensitivity could be an issue. Surely the towers can handle more volume but the center and bookshelves might struggle in that second much bigger room. I take it the pricier r series goes louder . But to blow driver you’d have to go loud…like 110db? Or 90-105 constant?
Theaters around here seem to use jbl .

To say they sound better than what I had is an incredible understatement. I played some of the same movie intros as before (e.g. Stranger Things for the base, some of the new Star Trek just for the variety of sound types) and not only was it immensely better, but I heard obvious things with the new setup that were completely absent in the old, I think from the surround.

One item of interest. I was marveling at the base, and thinking how well they worked with the sub (as I thought it must be carrying a lot of the load in some of the deep rumbling) only to notice while I hooked up the RCA cord I literally had not plugged the power in for the sub.

I may have to start watching movies down there myself as opposed to my office, not just when I have guests.

Thank you everyone for leaving me poor, but quite happy.

yeah any full sized speaker would sound significantly better then satellites. I’m only running like half my system , rest got stuck upstairs . And surround sound worked better upstairs no huge couch were I can’t put speakers on the sides or back . I bet these speakers look a lot better too. KEFs are 3 ways unlike what I’m using .

Just to drag this topic kicking and screaming back to the original point, the RF speaker connection.

With the new AVR I get a better report on delay-distance for them, and it's adding about 20'. That pushes it up near but not to the apparent limit of what it can correct, so in a large room with say 20' actual distance, it would exceed the correct-ability.

But these are well within it, and with the pre-outs now on the new AVR hopefully are not being impacted significantly by going over RF.

Late to the party, I also found this site had reviewed that specific RF pair and gave them high marks. If I had read that before asking, I might not have posted, been pushed into brand new speakers, so.... good?
