I have a friend who researched the Aperion Audio Link but decided against it. The reviews he read were so diverse it ended the wireless consideration. Personally, Alan's take on the technology is right on. The amount of interference varies so much it's quite a risk. You can't beat the dependability of the wire connection.

That's disappointing, especially considering how universally positive the reviews were on Aperion's site.

Yeah, that's too bad. I always go with wired over wireless whenever I can, but wireless certainly would make subwoofer placement cleaner and easier. Even if I could run the signal over my home network, at least then it would simply be run from wherever the closest ethernet jack is. And since I'll have jacks on every wall in the basement, that would be easy.

You could have sub out jacks on every wall just as easy, pull some coax through at the same time as the cat5

Well, I'd be going with balanced XLRs. How easy is that? I haven't looked too far into it. Having JUST the ethernet jack would still be simpler, and less weird for anyone else who ends up living here, but you're right, it shouldn't be that much harder to run these subwoofer connections at the same time.

XlR's are a little tougher(bigger end) but not by that much. Maybe run a double set up with XLR and coax/RCA for those that follow you without the capacity for XLR

Running both would probably be a good idea even just for me. I might want RCAs for something at some point.

Interesting yes, interference free? For now till more products make use of the same frequency. It sounds like you need 120V outlets where ever you are setting the speakers.
"The Summit Wireless team informed me that they could integrate this solution into virtually any loudspeaker design and eliminate the need of a passive crossover, thus creating a truly active bi-amplified speaker solution with perfect driver phase and time alignment. Very cool!"
The writer tries to make this sound so easy yet to run this system you need amps for each speaker, not a bad thing but there is still the extra 120v outlets required at each speaker position to have it run the way it is desribed. I think it is still much easier to pull low voltage speaker wire and have all the amps in one location. I get the feeling it could still be set up this way though.

It looks like Aperion has implemented this wireless technology into their 5.1/7.1 home theatre setups. http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/lifestyle-desktop-and-portable/aperion-intimus-4t In my opinion this technology is really cool even with potential kinks and all. Love it or hate it, wireless technology is going to have a place in the home audiophile market in the future. I like seeing manufacturers getting in on this. It can only help spark innovation. Lots of money to be made in this sector too.
