Summary: This is a decent product!
Review: I bought a refurbed pair from eBay. I experienced no static issues
from any outlet in the house. Sound quality is OK and is better
than wireless speakers I have tried.

Summary: Just do not work
Review: I have these in same room with transmitter, and have tried all ways of tuning/locating. When they work, very good, but they will not stay tuned on same program. Emit loads of static and whistles. Will only tune with volume at max on tv. Upstairs I have ARs & they work wondorously, even on low TV volume. The ARs also emit a wider sound spectrum. These RCAs are not as good as the speakers that came with my PC.

Summary: A good idea that failed in execution.
Review: My intent was to pipe music from my living room to my office (about 25 feet). The RCA RC970 Powerline Speakers seemed like a good idea that unfortunately failed in execution. I tried five different speaker locations in my office, and any combinations of power outlets that they would reach in those different locations, and none of them worked in stereo. One or the two speakers would not have signal either immediately or loose signal in moments. I spent dozen's of trips back and forth setting the different channels on the speakers and the base station trying to get a setup to work. I also experienced interference static at one setup position when the speaker was within two feet of my computer monitor. I would not recommend these speakers to anyone, however if your considering one speaker per room set to mono or using outlets in the same room as the base station than I could understand your considering them, for when I tested them in the same room that had the base station they functioned correctly. When the speakers worked the sound was good, better than any computer speaker systems I've heard although less that you could expect to hear from similarly priced speakers hard wired into your system.
