Moving into a new house and want a new booming system to start the gaming/movie greatness. Please help me find a decent Wireless Speaker system for a decent price. Lowest i've found so far is around $700.

You're never going to find a truly good wireless HT. In any event you still need to power the rears anyway by plugging them in - or possibly battery powered. Plus the 900 mhz or 2.4 ghz connection isn't really very good for HT purposes. You're better off getting a normal speakers and hiding the wires...or have the wires run through the wall...

Here's a good old thread on avsforum on some wire hiding techniques...

Home depot sells some stuff called Wire Molding or something that hides cables...just ask the guys at the store.

Depending on the size of the room, a throw rug can do wonders. In my bedroom, I just ran the speaker wire on the floor, threw the rug over it, and its totally hidden.

Yeah, but i am going to have hardwood floors and that just sucks to use a throw rug. That's what i use now and it's okay, but damn...

going through the wall to hide the wires could be rather difficult. using those flat wires with paintable surfaces would be the easiest solution.

Thing is i already have TONs on high quality speaker wire. I just don't want to go thru the trouble of drilling up my new house. And there is no basement so under the floor boards is out. Might just have the try going thru the attic even though i hate that idea.
