I've never tried any wireless speakers, but that "Rocketfish" appears to have a 50 Watt (25Watt/Channel) amp in the receiver and you would have to run speaker cable from the wireless receiver to your speakers, not to mention power from the wall to the wireless receiver. 25Watts might be enough, but it depends on whether the amp is any good or not.

Personally, we currently have an unfinished basement and I would find it less troublesome to run speaker cable. Then, there's no worries about wireless interference or another device. IIRC, I picked up 100' of 12awg speaker cable, with 10 banana clips and shrink tubing, from Blue Jeans Cable for under $80 to replace well over $100 worth of Monster 14awg and junk Monster bananas.

But, it may be worth trying if you want to avoid running cable under the floor, especially in an apartment.

One other thing to note is, if these devices operate on a 2.4Ghz signal, as the Rocketfish does, they're vulnerable to interference from WiFi, Cordless phones, microwaves, etc...
