Are there any options for wireless surround speaker hookup? I am not sure if any wireless band could give good sound but I figured I would ask the forum. I just moved to a new house and have discovered the surround wiring would be close to impossible (tile floor on slab, 2 story cathedral ceiling, windows blocking possible wire runs, limited access, etc). Any advice would be great!

    From what I understand, wireless has a ways to go before it's ready for HT. I assume you have sheetrock walls? Try pulling off a chunk of baseboard and see if you can run your wires under them. If the sheetrock is close to the floor, you may need to cut along the bottom to make a "channel" for the wires to run. Good luck!

    Baseboards may be your best option, but don't overlook going outside. Nothing wrong with pulling speaker leads through conduit and into the attic.

    This can get you around that pesky cathedral tieing into the outside wall(s). You can ususally get to top of the inside walls.
