World’s First Completely Wireless Digital Home Theater System

Neosonik are all set to unveil the world’s first 100% wireless home entertainment system at the Consumer Electronics Show (Las Vegas, January 8th to 11th, 2007.)
Their Wirelss Home Theater System (pictured) is exactly what it sounds like, with no cables, no analogue whatsoever and a Wireless A/V Controller (go here for what seems to be a comprehensive summary of the technology involved) running the entire digital show, promising no compression and a 200 foot range.
Aside from reducing tangle, and “oops I tripped over my speaker cable, why isn’t the cat moving?” incidents this should also deliver massive improvements in quality, with a digital signal pure as the driven snow.
The lucky folks at CNET got a preview and seemed suitably impressed, so looks like this is the real deal wireless wise.
My only question: Is it 100% wireless if you still have to plug it in?
Prices will range from $6,000 to $15,000 depending on your setup.

Serious home theater, involving a projector and a screen, usually means pulling the blinds down to make your room as dark as possible. But there’s a new wave of cutting edge front projection screens that claim to work with ambient lighting. Which means an end to sitting in the dark (unless you like it that way).
