there aren't really any good wireless systems. most of the ones out there seems to be RF and aren't really great sounding. sometime when you walk in between the transmitters, you'll hear a slight distortion. and they're too expensive for how they sound. no enthusiasts would go for wireless speakers.
so far no display technology is without its advantages and disadvantages over each other. plasma will have the best picture for a flat panel. they usually have the highest contrast ratios and their color levels are the best. they suffer from burn-in problems where the image that didn't move alot will stay on your screen from a bit. most older high-end and most newer plasmas have a technology that'll constantly move pixels around slightly to remedy this problem. cheapo plasmas usually don't have this feature. plasmas also has to be recharged so that the picture stays bright and colorful. it used to cost a lot, like $1k to get this done, but it's around $100 now. and the timeframe for this also has been getting longer. it used to be at least every 4-5 years, i think it's now every 10 years.
plasma technology has been getting better but newer, better display technology comes out all the time. so far it's been plasmas, LCD, DLP and some LCoS, which sony calls sxrd. but LED, SED, OLED, etc are around the corner by the end of this year.
anyway, i would say that deciding between current technology depends on if you want a flat panel display to save space, what size display, the environment the tv will go in, and how much money you got.
and "is it possible to do this and not go broke?"
define "broke"
