Whatever audiophiles may say, the biggest advantage of wired speakers has nothing to do with sound quality. The biggest advantage is control. In short, wired speakers can give you finer sound control than wireless speakers. Another advantage is that wired speakers are very easy to use. All you need to do is connect them to an amplifier with a speaker line, and a moderately intelligent chimpanzee might figure out what to do.

That doesn't mean wired speakers don't have shortcomings. One of the most important is that you have to deal with the wires - obviously. For some people, a set of winding cables can be a real annoyance, which can be multiplied if you happen to set up a full surround sound system. The second major disadvantage is that some calculations need to be done at the time of purchase to ensure that the speaker and amplifier power levels match correctly.
