that wireless technology looks VERY promising! I thought about getting wireless speakers, but they were just too expensive and laggy for me...

[gotdamojo06]

wireless speakers would be nice, I bout some logitech speakers and the wires on them are way too long for me...

[sdy284]

True, but one you go to wireless speakers, each speaker requires a power brick to power it
