Surround sound

[bmw]

Hello, all!. I'm thinking about getting a wireless surround system for
my home. Which one(s) is the best deal for the money. I've never
bought anything like this before so any help would be greatly
appreciated!!

Thanks,
BMW

What are you considering? I haven't seen any decent wireless systems,
multichannel or stereo.

Wireless either means you have to run power to the speakers, wire, or you
have to change batteries often. So why bother? Running wires isn't that
hard.

None.
Don't buy one.
Run the wires.

Looks nice but it requires a computer connected to a network and, as
of the present time, it is incompatible with most home audio systems.
Can it handle multichannel?
