One of the easiest methods I've found of hiding wires in an old house is
to pull the top cap off your baseboard, cut a small dado in the backside
of it (a bladewidth or two), and fit the wire in the groove. Nail it
back up (the nail holes are already there) and you're done. I've used it
in our 'teens craftsman-styled place. It doesn't require running line
through walls, and hides the stuff perfectly.

Wireless speakers need to be powered somehow, so you will have to either
run wires to an outlet, or re-charge a battery often. Wireless speakers
could sound very good, but that will depend on their design. Right now, I
would never consider wireless speakers because to me their benefits do not
make up for their drawbacks. I would suggest you listen to the speakers
before you buy. You should also ask a lot of questions on the installation
of the speakers.
