Sound bar with wireless battery powered rear speakers

I have no way of connecting rear speakers to power or the source - are there any decent options that run from battery?

    JBL Bar 5.1 or 9.1 if you want the higher end model.

    Philips used to have one but they discontinued them.

    Shop around for the best price (e.g. HN has the 5.1 for $795 and JB has the 9.1 for $1195 atm)

  • I think I'll go with the HW-Q950TXY over the JBL Bar 9.1 for the following reasons:
    * Extra channels (9.1.4 vs 5.1.4)
    * Apparently better mid-range, good for dialogue. I find myself turning my current soundbar up and down between talking and sound effects, so hopefully this will alleviate that.
    * Seamless integration with my Samsung TV (JBL [/might/] also be seamless, whereas I [/know/] the Samsung will be)

    I'll tolerate not having the following benefits:
    * truly wireless rear speakers (I have a power point handy, so not a deal breaker/maker)
    * Nicer aesthetics (I know I'll hate cleaning the Samsung, but meh).

    Can anyone convince me I'm wrong?
