What is the best wireless speaker system?




Rodolfo Cu


Right now, I have computer connected to a projector and 2 regular speakers for computer and plus 2.1 speakers including Sub-woofer all connected and it works very well,. Sounds pretty awesome.

But I wonder about a wireless Multi-speakers.
I'm thinking if there is such a thing like "wireless speakers that connect to sub woofer , something like that."

thinking like
"sub woofer connect to computer and ac outlet and then wireless speakers connected to sub woofer so I can move around the speakers.
is there such a think like that? or what is the best thing you can suggest similar to that.



Answer
Speakers need power. This means power comes from an amplifier and is delivered by speaker cables, or the speakers have a circuit inside which includes a wireless receiver and an amplifier. This in turn means each speaker needs more power than a conventional speaker, which in turn means either battery power or mains power. The louder you want to play the system the more power is required too.

Making speakers with wireless receivers and amplifier circuits and some sort of power source built in to each one is very expensive compared to simple and cheap-to-produce conventional PC speakers. It also makes for larger speakers. Most people don't appreciate why the speakers have to be larger and way more expensive, so wireless is a nice idea but often considered too expensive for "just some PC speakers".

There are some half-way-house solutions: The Rocketfish⢠- Universal Wireless Rear Speaker Kit for example. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/rocketfish-universal-wireless-rear-speaker-kit-black/8275528.p?id=1171058476489&skuId=8275528 As long at your speakers have an impedance of 4-16 Ohms then this will help get rid of the cables from the front of the room going to the back. The problem for PC speaker users is that those little rear speakers are often 2-3 Ohm or not even rated. Using low Ohms speakers with a box or amp designed for higher Ohms is a bad idea.

"Vizio wireless speakers are great. You can stream music to it from your phone and tablet as well"

Except that the rear speakers aren't wireless. The sub is wireless, sure. But the rear speakers have to be plugged in to the sub to work. So you still have speaker wires.

can I hook up a car speaker (bass system) in my house?

Answer
Elektroman's suggestions sound really dangerous to me. For one thing, you CANNOT just connect the car speakers to the home amplifier, because the impedances won't match. Car speakers are generally 4 ohm, while home stereos are generally designed for 8 ohm impedances. The mismatch can cause you to blow out your amp.

Second, the whole car battery / charger idea is REALLY bad. You should NEVER charge a car battery indoors, as this can cause hydrogen gas to form around the battery which is HIGHLY flammable (remember the Hindenberg??).

Do yourself a favor and leave the car speakers in the car, and get yourself a set of speakers and subwoofer for your home system.
