I'm moving into a new house (my first) in two weeks and I'm starting to think about wiring for my rear speakers in the new living room. There are obstacles on either side to get around (fireplace on one, large patio door and hallway on the other) making running wires tricky, but doable. I'm loathe to start tearing up the walls or more likely the floor to run wires since its a brand-new house. That leaves getting a wireless kit for the rears like this one:

My parents use the above kit since they really, really hate wires. However they aren't nearly as picky about sound quality as I am and are listening on simple HTIB-type speakers. Does anyone have any experiences good or bad with these kits? Are they prone to interference? Do they degrade sound quality?
My gut is telling me to just order a big spool of 14 gauge wire from Monoprice and figure a way around, but I want to consider the wireless option. The room in question is 17' x19' and I'm using Energy Take 5 speakers powered by an Onkyo TX-SR605S receiver.
