Speaker wire too short with no way to make longer

Unbelievable surround sound system!

I have absolutely no complaints about this system. Everything is perfect about it. It does everything equally well whether its watching a movie, listening to music from the ipod, playing a game on my xbox 360, or just watching TV. It all sounds GREAT!

Clear, powerful, room-rumbling sound

None

Wifi, easy setup

Hardwired speakers, no HDMI in (switching between DVD and TV is a pain)
