any suggestions for implementing wireless rear speakers in a home theatre system - in my situation physically wiring the rear speakers will be real difficult. So looking for suggestions.
thanx

This is a situation where you need to look at a packaged wireless sound bar ecosystem. The problem is latency, where there's a sync issue between video and audio. A sound bar system manages sound source and any timing issues within its walled garden. Devialet has a fully wireless audio separate system if you have a spare $17,000 US. Klipsch has a WiSA-based 5.1 wireless speaker package, but apparently it's so buggy and poorly implemented that you'd probably ask for a refund. The WISA organization has a site that uses their technology suite. I'd check reviews to see if you're the beta tester. Wireless is the future, but it won't be mainstream for another decade. https://www.wisatechnologies.com/speakers

What about axiom’s wireless speakers? Since I do not use wireless speakers in a HT situation I can not speak to the latency issue. I’d call axiom and ask them if it would be a problem.

I have the M3 wireless speakers in a pure listening setup, mostly for background music. I think they are one of the less impressive setups Axiom has made. The speakers are of course regular M3's and sound fine, but the overall system is flawed.
I cannot imagine getting a full wireless solution of Axiom products working in a home theatre, and working well.

I looked up WiSA to familiarize myself with the technology. This site has the clearest explanation I've found so far, and it doesn't look as well thought out as I'd like: https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/wisa-wireless-explained/I'd wait a few product cycles before trying it. I fully expect them to mess up interoperability and consumer-friendliness the same way that USB-C, HDMI, HDMI eArc, and Bluetooth have.

… but the overall system is flawed How so? I have a few transformers for house audio and have a few issues with them .. my biggest two are: - Every so often I have to reset them because the device can’t be found. - The user interface is non-intuitive… which causes my wife to call me in to “fix it”. 9 times out of ten it’s user error but I can’t blame her … I also find it frustrating.
