Surround sound wireless speakers are becoming a favorite choice for use with home entertainment systems. In order to attain authentic surround sound you will need a so-called 5.1 or 7.1 speaker system. The '.1' in both systems refers to a subwoofer, the speaker designed to output low sounds; the other number shown relates to the number of satellite speakers. In a 5.1 setup, you have middle, front left and right, rear left and rear right satellites. 7.1 systems are the same, apart from the addition of left side and right side speakers.
As to whether the extra cost of a 7.1 surround sound setup is justified, it's a matter of personal choice. Many individuals will tell you that the difference is limited, so that if you are on a budget, you're better off investing your cash on a better 5.1 setup, than you would be a not so good 7.1 one. Others think that a 7.1 setup may only be justified if you have a particularly large room and that a properly setup, quality 5.1 setup will be satisfactory for all but the biggest locations. Nevertheless, if you have the capital and a large room, then a 7.1 setup is going to supply a truly immersive sound experience.
True surround sound wireless speakers tend to be very hard to come across, although there are several systems available that offer
wireless rear speakers. This is obviously the best solution - you often will already have many of wires connecting your Tv, surround sound amplifier, DVD player, etc., so some extra cables going to the the front left/right and center speakersdo not make a great difference. On the other hand, not having cables going to the rear of your room can be a big
benefit.
In order to take advantage of your surround sound speaker system, you should consider purchasing good surround sound speaker stands. The speaker stands you select can have a big effect on the sound quality experienced from the speakers. They can also look nice, and many have built in cable management to keep any wires hidden. They should also enable you to position the speakers at the ideal listening height.
