Choosing A Good Home Theater Sound System

By Bradd Alan


There is no need in owning a home theater without a great audio system. If you want to fully enjoy the complete features of your home theater, the key is to find a good sound system. Besides, you can never really enjoy a movie with just the visuals; you need efficient supplementary sound.

A proper home theater audio system usually consists of a set of speakers and an amplifier. The set is made up of a subwoofer, surround speakers, two front speakers, a center channel speaker, and in some systems two rear speakers. For your home system to produce quality sound like that of a movie theater, it needs to coordinate all these components.

The center speaker plays a major role in the set. This speaker works to reproduce almost the entire movie dialogue and almost half of a particular sound track. As such, the best place to put this speaker for full effects is right above the screen or below it.

The room in which you keep the home theater system will determine the effect the sound system will produce. Through experiment, you will realize that the system will have a different impact in every room. In addition, the contents of the room, its dimensions, and shape will also affect the sound produced by your sound system. If you decide to put the home theater in the living room where there is heavy foot traffic, you may want to hide the components from normal view.

There are numerous brands of home theater audio systems to choose from. In addition, you could choose to go for an entire set or different components and then combine the pieces. When mixing the components, always ensure that the individual components can work together as a set. On the other hand, if you decide to go for a complete set from a single brand, these are generally modified to complement each other.

Technological advances in the recent years have seen plenty of competition in the home theater and sound system market. As such, it can be quite hard determining which system to get among the different models available without some basic knowledge. Do some research and carry out a window shopping expedition at various electronic shops to find out about their products. This way, you will make an informed decision and purchase the ideal system for you.

Some systems will require purchasing a separate amp to boost the speakers. As such, find out if your home theater system can amplify the speakers or you will need to get a dedicated amp. Fortunately, modern packages come packed with almost everything you need for setting up the speakers. However, if you want to buy separate components and piece them together, you may want to purchase a separate amp for that matter. A 100-watt amplifier will almost certainly guarantee enough power to serve your entire home theater collection.

Look for an audio system that will fit well with your room. You do not need to purchase a five speaker surround system if you are going to put it in a small den. However, remember that there will be extra wires to hide with the more speakers you add, unless you are buying a wireless system.
