Clambering around the attic, basement, or crawlspace; drilling holes; fishing wire; installing junction boxes-it all adds up to misery. Sometimes you just don't have a choice. But if you're looking to install speakers in your home's ceiling, and your ceiling has existing recessed-lighting fixtures, Klipsch's LightSpeaker is an ingenious solution: The speaker half of the equation features a 20-watt digital amplifier, a 2.5-inch micro-cellulose polymer speaker cone, a wireless 2.4GHz receiver, and an LED light source that fits inside most any five- or six-inch ceiling can."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1288986477.usr11334.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></p><p>This is a new one for me! I've heard of wireless speakers before, but not ones that fin in to recessed lights in the ceiling. Wireless speakers is something I've been interested in for a while since my living room isn't exactly easy for locating wired rear speakers in the correct place. I've had concerns about whether the quality would be good enough, and with all the wireless routers around, mobile, microwaves etc, I do wonder if there would be too much interference. All this has put me off purchasing so far, but I have followed the changes in technology as it happens. I don't have recessed lights so this isn't a product that would work for me, but I do like the innovative idea.</p>
