Will the speakers still produce sound with the wireless subwoofer powered off?

It sure will. The wireless subwoofer is a completely separate entity with its own power source. You turn it off and you just have the two front speakers. You turn it on, and it starts pumping the bass via a wireless connection.

Yes the sound bar works without subwoofer turned on. Also, when the sound bar is turned off, the sub woofer goes to 'standby' automatically.

The speakers will continue to produce sound with the subwoofer powered off. There is also an independent volume setting for the subwoofer. It can be adjusted to provide more or less bass output.

No. The rear speakers are not wireless. They come with approximately 23' of wire. Since the wire is hard wired to speaker, you would have to splice to get any longer.

This receiver does use a powered subwoofer. If you hook a non-powered speaker to this outlet, you could very well blow your sub-woofer. I wouldn't take the chance.

There is speaker wire included which is used to connect the 2 speakers so not completely wireless.

As mentioned, the speakers themselves are not powered wirelessly. They plug into standard wall sockets and there is no onboard power storage. That said, the AC adapter allows different plugs to be snapped into place so you can use foreign electrical outlets. Also, there is a power wire which runs about two feet between the speakers, so your speaker seperation will be limited by that much. The product pictures don't show any of these electrical wires, and they probably misled you into thinking they were mobile-ready. Read my review which discusses this problem.

The speakers stay on once you set them up. If they drop out they can be re-activated using ITunes through the Airport Express.

Yes. The wire that you would plug in to your device is at the other end permanently attached to the subwoofer.

No, these are NOT powered speakers. The only connection is the speaker wire.

The speakers are not self powered. I am playing though my receiver and with a separate sub-woofer.

Hi. I wasn't happy with these and gave them away soon after. Sorry I can't answer in re: Wireless but I wanted to let you know how I felt about the speakers themselves.

Yes, the power is not power full due to the fact that it uses for laptop and it doesn't have sub-woofer. If you want more or louder noise, you need to buy the system which has power sub-woofer. I have the same issue. Thanks

I have these speakers set up right next to my wireless router and have had no problems with either.

Not by default. I'd imagine you'd have buy an adapter to plug into the back that transmits the sound wirelessly to your speakers.

no, the subwoofer has the power supply. the power and volume are controlled from one of the speakers though

I swapped out the speakers for more powerfull outdoor speakers. The sub woofer has to be connected, power goes thru it if i remember correctly. Hope this helps.

Kevin,I do not believe so. The system is powered through a small desk top device with a wireless sub. I fear you may "blow up" your speakers if you try adding an amplifier. This is an expensive but great 3-piece system. I like the fact it powers off automatically when TV or computer is shut down.

You need to plug them into the wall outlet to power the built in sub-woofers. As others have said, if you don't you are not fully utilizing the full functionality.
