WSA-5RP-PLUS Wireless Surround Sound Rear Speakers Kit with 2 x 100W Amplifier Built-in (Metal Chassis Design)

This is a great solution! I have a 20x20 room with hardwood floors and no easy way to connect surround channel speakers. The metal chassis feels sturdy and well made. The units connect and operate on the 5.2 and 5.8 ghz radio frequencies and is the reason why they have the bandwidth to provide lossless audio. They are not wifi or bluetooth. Setup is super easy and only requires turning both units on. You'll see the blinking light turn solid in a couple of seconds when both units are paired. There is a paring button if you need to change from the default 5.8 ghz frequency to 5.2 or to pair again. The unit will find the best channel with the selected frequency. I've turned the units on and off and they've always paired within seconds. I have the transmitter sitting on an 8 foot tv console opposite ends from a mesh wifi 6 wireless router that operates on 2.4 and 5.2 ghz. I keep the units on 24/7 and I have had absolutely no hissing, interference or popping. I've used my nearby kitchen microwave and cellphone with no issues. The receiver unit is 20 feet away behind a leather couch, no direct line of sight. I've read other reviews about replacing the included wifi antennas but I haven't had the need to. I used my AVR preamp RCA low level connections for left right surround and subwoofer connections to the transmitter. It's set at zero attenuation. It's good to know that this unit allows -6 and -12db attenuation if your signal level is too high and causing clipping. I haven't tried using the speaker level connections, but given the choice, RCA usually provides a cleaner signal with less chance of noise or clipping. Once connected, I ran my AVR Audyssey setup and had to turn the remote receiver volume up half way. I was hesitant to use a wireless connection, but I am very happy so far with this unit's performance. You can find reputable online videos and reviews that provide actual amplifier performance data which convinced me to give this a try. A hardwire connection to your AVR is always best if possible. But you need to factor in the cost of 14-16 gauge oxygen free copper wire and how to hide it. This is a great, near lossless solution that provides 2x50 watts rms per channel at 8 ohms, 2x100 watts rms at 4 ohms. If you need more power, you can bridge the amp on the receiver to get 100 watts rms at 8 ohms for one channel! Of course you will need to buy a second receiver and also bridge it for a second channel if you go that route. It would be nice if the units can auto sense for a signal to turn on and turn off after inactivity and if they came in white or silver color. Great set it and forget it solution.

I use this for rear surround speakers, and it works exactly as I'd hoped. I have a triband wifi network and was concerned that there might be a conflict... but there's not. I've had the Dynasty for about a month and there's been no pops/clicks/noise in the surround speakers, nor has my wifi slowed. When pairing the Dynasty TX and RX I made sure I was streaming Prime videos on my TV's and computers in the hopes it would find and connect to an "empty" channel. It did, but I really don't know if the high level of wifi traffic helped or if I just got lucky. But the end result is that neither one affects the other. The TX and RX are about 20 feet apart from each other, and the arm of a couch blocks a direct line of sight but I've had no issues with dropouts or pops/noise. The amp itself is quiet too, no hiss at any level. It does have some processing delay... YPAO thinks my speakers are almost 30 feet farther from the measurement mic than they actually are, but my Yamaha A4A compensated and everything is time aligned in the end.

Installation and set up was easy. Straight forward after getting a magnifying glass to read the instructions. First movie, no artifacts. Second, much popping and cracking. Replacing antennas helped. Fewer but still pops. Moved sending unit away from amplifier helped again. Fewer still, but still. Looking for even better antennas. Yes, in line of sight and only 13’ apart. Quality of sound quite good with no latency. Not 5 stars yet. Looking for a solution. Sony ES amp with Definitive Technology rear speakers. Good stuff helps, I think.

Kinda pricey, but plug and play straight out of the box. No issues with connectivity. Good solid build should last a while. No discernable audio lag. Update: I did have an occasional unexpected click from the speakers. 20' distance with only the couch in between. I upgraded both antennae to 12db gain for WiFi and haven't heard it since. Update2: I had an idea to change my setup and bought a powered center channel speaker intending to use the sub channel to send it with L&R speakers. Turns out the sub channel has very low sampling rate which cuts out everything over about 2kHz.

If you're looking at this then you probably don't want to run wires through your walls or under the carpet for your home theater. This set rocks. I bought it even though I thought it was expensive for what it is but the performance is awesome. There's no discernable lag in the sound. The range is great. I primarily use it in my bedroom but I did take it outside and played tunes from my main system and it held up fine! 30 feet through walls with no problem. The amplifier portion is probably a switching amp (class d) but it sounds very good. It's 50 watts per channel which is overkill for rear/surround channels but it held up fine as a primary outdoor amp. Careful with the volume though because it gets LOUD very quickly. Like in my room it's probably at 10%? There are no tone controls but it's a bassy sound. Very "full". The head unit sends the rear channel signal via RCA OR speaker inputs. And again. No discernable lag via either input. As a wireless solution it's awesome. As a basic stereo amp it is also awesome. I wish it had more of it's own features like bluetooth or streaming but then it would be a much different and more expensive product. If you're checking this out then you know what you need. It's not sonos. But it works so well for a wireless surround sound extension.

So I waited to write this review a few weeks in. First impressions were great! Build quality is very good! Plugged everything in and it paired up right away! First few days I didn’t hear any difference from when I had my rear speakers directly connected. But after that I have started to notice a “popping” sound every now and then. It first started to notice it when I was watching sports, specifically soccer games. At first I thought the were just sounds from the crowd or something like that! Unfortunately I then started to hear this popping sound in all kids of movies. I really wanted to love this product, but it still needs to be refined! Especially for the price. It’s pushing 2 Klipsch rear bookshelf speakers. The receiver I’m using is a Marantz SR6014.

I forgot to include rear surround sound cabling in my house, so use these to send audio to 2 rear surround sound speakers, combined with my amp which has 6 other wired speakers and a sub. First thing, this replaced another similar product that got fried in a storm - this is superior when it comes to consistency and lack of interference or noise on the speakers. Like the other product, using this method introduces significant latency when mixing wired speakers with this, however using your amp setup (I use Denon Audyssey to auto configure) it will set the delay/latency options appropriately you'll just see they're much higher for the speakers driven by this product. That is due to being wireless and the overhead of wireless transmission - in other words it cannot defy physics! That aside, it works great and would certainly use it again if the situation arises.

First off, I did some research on wireless units and this system seemed to be the best available out there. The amp is robust and well made with banana plugs connections but the transmitter will only accept bare wire or pin connections....I have always used pin connections as bare wire always seemed to drive me nuts. Installation was straight forward enough and for me it was plug and play. Once all hooked up the blue light on the transmitter and amplifier starts to blink blue and then almost immediately, both units are solid blue indicating that you have a solid connection. Just make sure you don't have anything obstructing the line from the transmitter and amp and your good to go. I experienced no issues at all.....just crystal clear music with no distortion. Best part is now I have surround sound with no wires from my receiver. I think you will be most impressed with this system....I certainly was !!!
