      Biggest challenge, IMO, is getting the fishtape down an insulation-filled wall, especially down to the bottom of the wall. Twenty years of fishing walls has taught me to expect the unexpected. They very easily could've encountered a block about halfway down. The trick, as has been opined about below, is having this job done as cleanly as possible.

      Barring any crazy interference on the wireless speakers' frequency, you're going to lose about as much quality with a long wire run as you will with wireless speakers. However, the ideas in this video are still relevant for other things you might want to do, like snaking electrical wire or ethernet cable through a wall.
