Home Theater Wire Hiding ?


Hey everyone, I am looking to buy a new home theater system. So what is the best way to hide the wires? Through the roof? Along the baseboards? What would you say is the easiest? Or should I just buy a satellite speaker system? (The Problem is, is the qulity the same?)

If you have an attic or a basement you can run the wires through the walls and either up or down. Although, that's not always as easy as it sounds. Along the baseboards or under the carpet would be the quickest and easiest, but not necessarily the best way. It really depends on how permanent this system is going to be? If it's a house that you own and plan on staying in for a while you could always hire someone to do it professionally. I hired a company to come in to my house and run all the wires from the four rear speakers to a wall plate behind my TV. It cost $300 but everybody who's ever seen them comments on how good they look, clean and professional.

Description

You will receive a total of 2 speaker stands. Dimension: 11.63"W x 10.63"D x 49.25"H Weight Limit: 2 lbs per each Finish: Titanium Material: Cast Iron Set of 2 Adjustable Speaker Stands in Titanium Finish Satellite Speaker Stands set feature heavy duty cast iron construction. Designed with wide base to provides durability and stability. Adjustable height to ensure perfect and customized sound. Lightweight with concealed wire management path. Two sizes of mounting brackets and double-tape ensure correct installation. Standard 1 year warranty. Speakers are not included. Also available in Black finish. Easy to install.

If you want to enjoy stereo and surround sound to its fullest, it's important to install your speakers at the proper listening height. That's where these Atlantic speaker stands come into play. Each of the two cast-iron stands is adjustable from 27 inches to 48 inches, giving listeners an array of heights from which to choose. Merely install your satellite or surround speaker on the platform and experiment with your favorite music and movies. The stands aren't built for bulk--they support up to 2 pounds each--so users should take care to use them only for lightweight speakers. The hidden-wire design, however, is a definite bonus, as it conceals the unsightly speaker cable within the poles. In addition, the stands' titanium finish adds a sleek touch to a room's décor. The stands measure 10.5 by 50 by 11.75 inches (W x H x D) each, which includes the brawny base, and weigh 11.75 pounds. Atlantic covers the stands with a limited lifetime warranty.

Description

Bose® 191 speakers deliver the lifelike sound you want for stereo and home theater. They're designed for unobtrusive, flush-mount placement in walls or ceilings and are easy to install. They can even be painted to match your room. Proprietary Bose technologies can make a difference in everything you listen to. It's music to your earsand easy on your eyes. Turn on your favorite CD or settle in with a DVD and let rich, natural sound fill your room. You'll enjoy lifelike spaciousness and balanced stereo sound throughout the listening area with our Articulated Array® speaker design. And you'll experience Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance almost anywhere you sit in the room, rather than the smaller "sweet spots" most conventional speakers provide. A proprietary ported enclosure delivers smooth, consistent low-frequency response, regardless of where the speaker is placed. This innovative approach compensates for unpredictable environments behind walls or above ceilings that can diminish performance. The enclosure also directs lower frequencies into the listening area where they are installed, and prevents them from radiating directly into adjoining rooms. The enclosure allows for easy placement in the wall or ceiling. Speakers come with both rectangular and round grilles, so you can flush-mount your choice to either surface. And when they're painted to match your walls or ceilings, they blend right in.

Features

  • Paintable flush-mount design for in-wall, in-ceiling installation
  • Articulated Array® speaker design
  • Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance
