Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Wireless rear speakers in HT

any suggestions for implementing wireless rear speakers in a home theatre system - in my situation physically wiring the rear speakers will be real difficult. So looking for suggestions.

thanx

This is a situation where you need to look at a packaged wireless sound bar ecosystem. The problem is latency, where there's a sync issue between video and audio. A sound bar system manages sound source and any timing issues within its walled garden.

Devialet has a fully wireless audio separate system if you have a spare $17,000 US. Klipsch has a WiSA-based 5.1 wireless speaker package, but apparently it's so buggy and poorly implemented that you'd probably ask for a refund.

The WISA organization has a site that uses their technology suite. I'd check reviews to see if you're the beta tester. Wireless is the future, but it won't be mainstream for another decade.

What about axiom’s wireless speakers?
Since I do not use wireless speakers in a HT situation I can not speak to the latency issue. I’d call axiom and ask them if it would be a problem.

I have the M3 wireless speakers in a pure listening setup, mostly for background music. I think they are one of the less impressive setups Axiom has made. The speakers are of course regular M3's and sound fine, but the overall system is flawed.

I cannot imagine getting a full wireless solution of Axiom products working in a home theatre, and working well.

I looked up WiSA to familiarize myself with the technology. This site has the clearest explanation I've found so far, and it doesn't look as well thought out as I'd like:

I'd wait a few product cycles before trying it. I fully expect them to mess up interoperability and consumer-friendliness the same way that USB-C, HDMI, HDMI eArc, and Bluetooth have.

How so?

I have a few transformers for house audio and have a few issues with them ..
my biggest two are:
- Every so often I have to reset them because the device can’t be found.
- The user interface is non-intuitive… which causes my wife to call me in to “fix it”. 9 times out of ten it’s user error but I can’t blame her … I also find it frustrating.
