So, you still end up with wires. There may be other options, but it will always be a compromise, and I didn't want speakers with batteries.
In my case, even if I keep the center speaker and sub-woofer since they use very little wire and are located close to the amp, what do I do with $1200 worth of wired speakers. The system is working fine, unless I blow one out, I'm not changing. If I was starting over, yes, I would buy wireless. My main four speakers are 37 years old and still going strong.
