    Wireless rear channel speakers (not Bluetooth)

    Hello. I'm in desperate need of a pair of wireless rear channel speakers. In my new home, my only rear (really overhead) location has high arch's and pillars, so hard wiring to the reciever is ugly, but low voltage power to a wall wart can be worked with. I don't think Bluetooth would work...

    Can you wire 4 height speakers in parallel on an 5.1.2 receiver?

    Lets say you have a 7.2 AVR that does 5.1.2 What keeps you from piggybacking an extra speaker on each channel on height speakers if you were to install them in the ceiling? Is there a difference than using a 9.2 AVR for a 5.1.4 system? Aside from the impedance and extra stress on the amp...

    Proper Speakers ?

    I just got a Denon AVR-S530BT receiver. It says 140w. What does this mean exactly ? I picked this receiver because the speakers I have say they're 6 ohm and this receiver says it can run them. But the speakers say 120w. The receiver says, like I said, 140w. Will my speakers work with this receiver ?
