Product Review (submitted on September 7, 2020):

I was looking for wireless surround speakers (not a sound bar) but couldn't find such a thing. Contacted Fluance and Elac but neither had options that exactly met my need. I have vaulted ceilings so I can't run wire to the surround or rear speakers (maybe an electrician could ($$expensive$$), but I didn't see how I could easily do it after going in the attic). Fronts and center are Elac Debut 2.0 (6.2 series) wired in the wall with banana plug plates.What I did was buy 2 pairs of these (since these are powered- one powers the other and bluetooth).I put the bluetooth 'primary' for the rear where there is a power outlet each side, then ran 14GA banana plug wire (not included- I made them up to length) to the secondary speaker (surround). Used raceway as necessary to hide the speaker wire going from primary to secondary ($15). But it made it much less expensive than calling an electrician.I used a bluetooth Aptx HD transmitter hooked to Left rear (L) and Left Surround (R) line outs on my AV receiver, and a second bluetooth transmitter hooked to Right Rear (L) and Right Surround(R) line outs.The sound is very good to excellent (my opinion) using these bookshelf speakers in my 7.1 Home theater system.Contractors who have come into my home doing other work have been amazed how clear the sound of my setup is. I usually have put on the Rise of Skywalker BluRay to showcase the sound when asked so they can get a good example - haven't heard anyone say it sounds bad, but have had people ask me exactly what I bought to get to this result...
