These are active speakers...must be connected to power outlet and has a volume knob on the back so i dont think these are really meant to be used for surrounds. These were made for PC/Mac or ipod speakers. THe reviewer probably used it as surrounds just for testing purposes, which i somehow found odd...nothing against Steven.
Right on -- like I said at the top of the post, sending audio to the rear channels wirelessly is attractive to lots of people. Whether they don't want to bother with pulling new wires or they simply can't (apartment dwellers), a power cord + a short run of speaker cable from left to right channel is better than no surround sound at all.
