Are there home theater/5+1 systems with wireless speakers?
Can you suggest any?

Sony has some but I always here negative things about these sort of speakers. It is really much better and cheaper to run cables if you can.

I'll second the ^mustache^. Wireless are inefficient as of right now. 802.11 speakers are in the works with some companies, but then you'll have to worry about interference. Run wires, save money, get better quality.

Right now the speakers use IR and if you step in the line of sight it will cut out. Plus you will notice audio delays.
