If you are planning to get the HTiBs, I doubt the packaged cables are long enough to run up yr plaster ceiling, across and down to yr rear speakers.

When it comes to sound, cutting the wires doesn't really cut it................... ( ... shud I trademark this? )

Yes, u get the full channels but it being wireless, the SQ is called into question.

But it is still pretty much a personal choice. I initially wanted a wireless system as well, less messy, but after 'reserching' and testing, I guess the wires aren't that messy after all ...
