==== For both the front L/R and rear surround channels, WiSA-enabled bookshelf speakers are ideal. You can place them on stands or shelves (e.g. behind the couch, angled toward the listening area) for unobstructed sound. Bookshelf models often deliver excellent performance relative to cost, and in a WiSA system each speaker has its own built-in amplification. Here are a few top choices: ====
* Klipsch Reference Wireless RW-51M: These are active wireless bookshelf speakers featuring a 5.25-inch spun-copper woofer and a 1-inch horn-loaded tweeter per speaker, each driven by a 60 W RMS (120 W peak) internal ampbhphotovideo.com<ref>{{cite web|title=bhphotovideo.com|url=https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1493312-REG/klipsch_1067509_reference_wireless_rw_51m_speakers.html#:~:text=B%26H%20www,LTS%20Tweeter%20with%2090x90%C2%B0%20Horn|publisher=bhphotovideo.com|access-date=2025-11-29}}</ref>. Part of Klipsch’s WiSA-certified Reference Wireless series, the RW-51Ms are known for Klipsch’s dynamic “live” sound signature (clear highs and punchy mid-bass) delivered with lossless wireless transmissionwisatechnologies.com<ref>{{cite web|title=wisatechnologies.com|url=https://www.wisatechnologies.com/speakers#:~:text=Reference%20Wireless%20RW|publisher=wisatechnologies.com|access-date=2025-11-29}}</ref>. Four of these (for front and rear pairs) can fill a medium-sized room (2.6–3 m listening distance) with ease.

They also produce more bass than their size suggests (Piega cites down to ~35 Hz, though in practice a subwoofer is still recommended for true deep bass)futureaudiophile.com<ref>{{cite web|title=futureaudiophile.com|url=https://futureaudiophile.com/piega-ace-30-wireless-bookshelf-speakers-reviewed/#:~:text=in%20polished%20aluminum%2C%20black%20anodized,a%20Sonos%20Era%20100%20speaker|publisher=futureaudiophile.com|access-date=2025-11-29}}</ref>futureaudiophile.com<ref>{{cite web|title=futureaudiophile.com|url=https://futureaudiophile.com/piega-ace-30-wireless-bookshelf-speakers-reviewed/#:~:text=in%20terms%20of%20size,and%20the%20price%20will%20be|publisher=futureaudiophile.com|access-date=2025-11-29}}</ref>.

But if sound quality is paramount, their build (all-aluminum cabinets) and sonic performance are top-notch for a wireless bookshelf speaker.
* Buchardt Audio A500: For an audiophile-oriented choice, the Buchardt A500 active speakers are exceptionally powerful WiSA-enabled monitors. Each A500 is a 3-way sealed speaker with three built-in amplifiers (150 W RMS each, tri-amping the drivers) and advanced DSP tuningerinsaudiocorner.com<ref>{{cite web|title=erinsaudiocorner.com|url=https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/buchardt_a500/#:~:text=%3E%20%20%20,DSP%3A%20Quad%20Core%20processor|publisher=erinsaudiocorner.com|access-date=2025-11-29}}</ref>. They feature a 0.74-inch textile dome tweeter in a waveguide, a 6-inch midrange, and another 6-inch woofer, achieving a full-range response down to ~25 Hz (±1.5 dB) with the help of DSP correctionerinsaudiocorner.com<ref>{{cite web|title=erinsaudiocorner.com|url=https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/buchardt_a500/#:~:text=%3E%20%20%20,DSP%3A%20Quad%20Core%20processor|publisher=erinsaudiocorner.com|access-date=2025-11-29}}</ref>. In other words, these monitors can nearly negate the need for a subwoofer in music listening. The A500 supports 24-bit/96 kHz WiSA audio and can work with any WiSA transmitter (Platin Hub, SoundSend, etc.) up to 7.1 setupserinsaudiocorner.com<ref>{{cite web|title=erinsaudiocorner.com|url=https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/buchardt_a500/#:~:text=%3E%20%20%20,1%20setup|publisher=erinsaudiocorner.com|access-date=2025-11-29}}</ref>. Sonically, users praise its neutral yet punchy sound and wide soundstage – the A500 can handle both delicate details and high volume with low distortion. The caveat: these are expensive (~€3500 per pair) and Buchardt doesn’t make a dedicated center speaker or tiny satellites. They’re ideal if you envision a no-compromise front stereo pair (for both music and L/R home theater channels). You could even use additional A500s as surrounds or center, but using such a large speaker as a center might be impractical. Generally, A500s make sense if you want reference-quality mains in your 5.1 system (and are willing to invest accordingly)erinsaudiocorner.com<ref>{{cite web|title=erinsaudiocorner.com|url=https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/buchardt_a500/#:~:text=Price%20is%20approximately%20%E2%82%AC3500%20for,Hub%20the%20cost%20is%20%E2%82%AC3800|publisher=erinsaudiocorner.com|access-date=2025-11-29}}</ref>.
* Bang & Olufsen Beolab (High-End): If budget is no object and aesthetics matter, B&O offers WiSA-certified speakers like the Beolab 18 and Beolab 20 for front channels, and the Beolab 17 (bookshelf) or Beolab 18 (slender column) for surrounds. These are beautifully crafted, design-forward speakers with premium materials. The Beolab 18, for example, is a stylish columnar speaker inspired by the classic Beolab 8000, delivering refined full-range sound via its aluminum column enclosure (it uses Immaculate Wireless Sound, B&O’s WiSA implementation)wisatechnologies.com<ref>{{cite web|title=wisatechnologies.com|url=https://www.wisatechnologies.com/speakers#:~:text=Beolab%2018|publisher=wisatechnologies.com|access-date=2025-11-29}}</ref>. For low frequencies, B&O’s Beolab 19 subwoofer is a jewel-like wireless sub that provides exceptional bass impact and can be placed optimally in the room thanks to its wireless freedomwisatechnologies.com<ref>{{cite web|title=wisatechnologies.com|url=https://www.wisatechnologies.com/speakers#:~:text=Beolab%2019|publisher=wisatechnologies.com|access-date=2025-11-29}}</ref>. The sound quality of Beolab speakers is high (clear, natural sound with surprising bass for their form factor), but pricing is extremely high in this category – these are luxury products. They can certainly be integrated with a WiSA transmitter like SoundSend, but a full B&O 5.1 set could cost tens of thousands of dollars (e.g. Beolab 18 are often ~$5K per pair). B&O is worth mentioning for completeness, but for most users the options above (Klipsch, Piega, Buchardt) will offer better value in pure performance per dollar.

(Any other WiSA-certified bookshelf speakers can work as well – e.g. '''Harman Kardon Citation Surround''' speakers are WiSA-enabled surround units, though they are typically used with the Citation soundbar system. Brands like '''Mesanovic''' and '''Piega''' also have niche WiSA speakers. The key is to choose speakers that fit your budget and size/aesthetic preferences; they will all connect to the same transmitter. In general, using the '''same model/brand for all four satellite speakers''' is advisable for consistent timbre as sound moves around the room.)
