Convenience can be expensive and you're still stuck with running wires all over the place. That's made easier if you have a basement or attic otherwise you'll be pulling up carpet to hide wires. (Or maybe not.) Depends on how you view aesthetics. Hard to beat in-wall jacks. Another option is wireless speakers. There's plenty of new technology today for home theaters that eliminates "most" wires.
