Usually it is about the same voltage as a few batteries, and in DC (direct current). It's not dangerous, but you could still get some pain from touching the exposes wires to anything moist on your body.

However, if the speakers are "wired" or "amplified" - that is, they have their own connection to the household mains electricity, then any wire within them or sticking out of them must be assumed to have domestic voltage running through it. This is 110V/60Hz or 220V/50Hz, depending on your country. and is often fatal when played with.

As with all wires in any setting, assume wires are live at mains voltage until you have proof they are not. Don't take a chance with electricity - it shoots to kill.

no electricity passing from the stereo to the speakers isn't dangerous because the votage isn't high enough to do any serious damage.

The signal to the loudspeakers are a.c. not d.c. - almost by definition, but it is at a very low voltage though in a domestic stereo. The output from a high-power public-address amplifier can be high enough to be dangerous, although it is not from the mains.

Mains voltage throughout Europe is now 230V a.c., at 50Hz.

Bose speakers designed for home theater / home stereo applications can be powered by any stereo or surround receiver with sufficient power output for the ratings of the speakers. Bose speakers for car stereo applications must be powered by Bose amplifiers, since they have a special super-low impedence design which is not used by other manufacturers.

Can wireless instead of wires be used for old home stereo speakers?

You can go wireless, but you will have to buy wireless speakers. There is no current way of upgrading from wired to wireless and keeping the same speakers. The only way I can imagine is to buy some wireless speakers and then dismantle those and add the pieces to the old wired speakers, the ideal outcome, making them wireless and using the same good quality speakers that came with the stereo.
