Here is a question then, what would people suggest for running wire and such to rear speakers?

I just don't see a clean option. I've know people to do everything from dry wall work to mount speaker terminals in the wall (which I don't know if I wan to even consider for our current house) to putting a slit in the carpet with a razor blade and tucking it in there and then hand stiching up the slit with matching yrarn or thread.
