Can the rear speakers be set up wirelessly? If I purchase a wireless adapter, can the rear speakers be set up wirelessly?

I used to have these speakers. I set them up with the Rocketfish wireless rear speaker kit as well. I have since upgraded speakers but still use the Rocketfish.

No it is not wireless and the wires they provided are pretty short, so actually your surround sound rear speakers are pretty close to the front speakers at its maximum extension. Further my base speakers went out about a year after I purchased the unit and I really did not use it that often enough to justify the money paid for it. I contacted the manufacturers for replacement of the base speaker as everything connects to the base speaker and their reply is for me to pay for a whole complete set and use the satellite speakers for replacement. So they are just junk lying around in my study and I do not propose to buy from this company again.

Can the Energy Take 5.0 rear speakers be connected wirelessly? If so, what would it take to do this? I have a Sony STR-DH 800 receiver which is S-air ready, and I already have an active subwoofer, so only need 5 speakers. Thanks for you help.

No, none of speakers are wireless. But speakers have long enough wires to set em as owners manual said or how system should be installed.

No, the one i bought here came with wired rear speakers. Wireless speakers (with S-AIR technology) are optional which can be paired with this model but has to be bought separate. Probably some websites sell this model with wireless speaker at extra cost.

No... The rear speakers still need to receive power somehow so the system uses a receiver in the back of the room that plugs in and the speakers are wired into that receiver therefore you don't have wires that run from the back of the room to the front of the room where your stereo system would most likely be. The receiver in the back of the room wirelessly to the main stereo unit to receive sound.

Will not work with wireless speakers. You can connect a turntable and DVD player.

Thanks for your question. The rears are wireless. This is a fantastic sounding System. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Sony dealer.

It does not support wireless hook up. You can buy a wireless speak kit like Rocketfish™ - Universal Wireless Rear Speaker Kit. I used this and works great. easy to setup..

The speakers aren't exactly wireless. They're wired to an amplifier. Those are the two small speakers (surround). They are not however wired directly to the receiver.The two tall speakers (front speakers) are the ones that come with stands. Easy to hookup and wire to the receiver. I've had mine since late November and absolutely love it.

The speakers themselves are not wireless, but you can add the capability if you want to spend the money. Reference http://www.kef.com/html/us/showroom/wireless_solutions/universal_wireless_system/overview/ for one option.

No, you might incur problems communicating with the "wireless" rear speakers. But you might find you like the entire system as much or more than your current setup.

No the rear speakers are not wireless the wires for the rear speakers are approximately 20ft long

In my opinion, there is no such thing. Wireless speakers just don't have the sound quality/clarity of wired speakers. Also, the term "wireless" is misleading. Most wireless systems simply mean that there are no wires from the receiver to the rear speakers. Most of the time, those rear speakers are still connected to a wireless receiver in the back of the room by, you guessed it, wires. The reason is that speakers need to be powered somehow. There are a few options that will give you true wireless speakers, but they require batteries, and the speakers drain the batteries fairly quickly. Unless you have no way of running wires, I suggest getting a wired system or a good quality soundbar. In my opinion, there is no such thing.

The main receiver, left, right, and sub are all wired. There is; however, a wireless receiver for the two rear speakers. BUT, the speakers must have the wires fed into that receiver. So yes, it is wireless but not totally. You don't have to run wires through the ceiling or on the ground for the rear speakers, but they must be ran to the wireless receiver in some fashion. Hope that answers your question. Still a very great HTS, in my opinion.

Actually, I can't remember if it had a wireless option, but I had mine connected with speaker wire. Very easy install per the directions.
