I'll start by saying that I read almost every review available for this unit before purchasing and what I decided is that I need to buy it for myself to really make my own conclusions. (remember that you can always return it if you don't like it) My system consists of the following.... (Fronts) Klipsch RP-280fa (Center) Klipsch RP-450ca (Rears) MartinLogan Motion 4's (Receiver) Marantz SR-6011 I have to admit that I wasn't expecting much from this wireless kit as it's only putting out 30 Watts into 4ohms which is nothing to get excited about but since this unit is meant for the rear speakers, it is acceptable in a small to medium sized room (mine is 16x13). After all the cabIes were hooked up, I made sure the wireless receiver and wireless sender were within viewing distance of each other and setting the volume on the rear wireless receiver at Max. Then I ran the Audyssey EQ calibration on my receiver and was surprised to see that it worked perfectly. You don't need to have a calibrator on your receiver for this unit to work as it is a plug and play system. Once the calibration was complete, I used Mad Max: Fury Road (dolby atmos) to demo the setup. I wish I could say it was amazing but my rears lacked the low end that can be provided by a more powerful amp but the highs were present and were allowed to shine. Now given the size of my room, I am not even using a subwoofer as my towers have dual 8" woofers so the bass is more than enough to make up for what I may be lacking in the rear. Some important things to note.... 1. Follow the directions exactly as they are explained in the instruction manual. 2. Understand that if you do not have a dual band wireless router then you may experience interruption and delays in either your speakers or your wireless speeds to your devices ie. smart phone, tablets, media players etc. I have all my devices connected to 5ghz and let this unit take over the 2.4ghz so that I am assured no issues. As long as you are not expecting audiophile performance, I can happily recommend this system to anyone that is looking to go wireless. I'll say it again.....you can read all the reviews there are but you won't really know until try it yourself.

I have wanted to add surround sound speakers in my den for a while but put it off due to the time and money it would have required. I saw this wireless speaker option and checked the reviews. They were positive so I decided to give it a try. VERY glad I did. The setup was quick and easy and all of the necessary wires are included. It is as simple as connecting the speaker jacks, on your receiver, to the transmitter. Then locating where you want the speakers to be. Connect your wires to the Amplifier/Receiver and plug it in the wall. Then just adjust the settings for volume on your receiver and the Rockfish amp. Total time for me to set up was about 30 minutes, which included mounting the receiver, speakers and running wire.

Great product, works perfectly with our new setup with no speaker wire running from the back of the room to the front where our receiver is located. Did not degrade the sound at all that the human ear can notice. I recommend this for anyone looking to convert wired speakers to a wireless setup.
