Speaker Quality Speaks Volumes

A home theater comprises of a number of pieces, components and parts, the most important

part being the surround speakers. It’s the surround speakers that give you the movie theater

effect ultimately. While the other parts and pieces can be bought over a period of time, it’s the

speakers which need to be dedicated importance, priority over its buy. It has to be bought

together in a kit or as a set rather than mixing and delaying time on it. The quality of the sound

might be tampered.

Surround sound system needs to be devoted good time and thinking before it is bought as it is

by far the most important component of a home theater system. You can tamper around with

tuners, receivers and amplifiers but with speakers, it might back-fire you. They need to be

bought with patience and one shouldn’t regret in the end about the quality of the speakers being

bad. Sound quality has to be good irrespective of the investment you decide to pool in for the

system.

Everyone loves to watch movies, no doubt, and they relish every moment because of the sound

quality they are exposed to. For some it might be the mere smell of popcorn or the flavored

soda fountains which excites them, but ultimately one enjoys the theater experience. For the

movie lovers, the sound of the theater is what they consider the biggest asset to a theater. They

come to the theater to watch movies for this even if they have interruptions thanks to the kids,

cellular phones and nature calls.

The thing which can bring up a big smile on the faces of these movie buffs is the fact that this

same facility can be brought home too. This particular facility, thanks to technology, comes at

even lower prices these days. This plays to the advantages of the buyer as the demand and its

up-gradation is helping them. The speed of the up-gradation of these electronic items is

appalling. I, in fact, remember seeing prices of DVD players at around $300 for the basic of the

models. But now, for around $30 you can buy a very good model and be satisfied. They have

good features and mostly meet the quality of the original. Can you place yourself in a situation

where you will be selling surround sound systems for a very few in the coming years?

As we can all see, prices of these home theater systems, more specifically the surround sound

systems are dropping to a great extent. Earlier brands of color and shade used to be sold in the

market for low prices, to improve the supply of the company, and bad quality. The competition in

the market today is very healthy and provides innumerable options for the people. The fantastic

offers also keep improving as new products come into the market. The box sets are slowly

gaining popularity in the market.

Mind you, you will have to buy the system and test yourself before you intend to buy it. This is

very important as it’s a huge investment and lapses can make you feel distraught later.

Purchasing a surround system is no small investment financially nor is it easy to buy them and

set it up. It takes something from a person to devote time and a lot of energy on it before buying

them. Testing them while buying can help you a lot as surround systems might sound different

in different places. It can be misleading at times as the sound coming of the system depends on

the room and atmosphere. If you hastily buy a set of speakers, it can really be disappointing.

Use the starting 10 minutes from the movie Top Gun to test your system. Remember to buy a

DVD of this before you enter the shop. If the sound coming out of the speaker beats you and

mesmerizes everyone, you should consider buying it.

Home Theater Speaker Basics

Speakers make the most essential and important component of a home theater system. It is

next to impossible to achieve a theater-like atmosphere if you do not have good speakers in

your home theater. To enjoy the sound of the movies you watch, it is very vital you have a good

range of speakers placed at the right spots. A surround sound effect cannot be created

otherwise. Only with such a good surround sound that can you enjoy watching any movie.

The speakers you will need to complete your home theater at your place are: front speakers on

the right and left, a central channel speaker, subwoofers and speakers for the surround sound.

In most of the home theaters, the central speaker is left out. It is recommended that centre

speakers are of great importance as they provide a good portion of soundtracks in movies and

also add depth and fullness to the dialogues spoken in the movie.

The surround speakers give you the background effect as it plays all the background scores of a

movie making it seem more realistic. Surround speakers are the ones which add more spice to

the whole experience and work you a bit more by adding the excitement. They can further help

to give you a theater-like feel while watching the movies. Common surround speakers available

include: 5.1 channel, 6.1 and 7.1 channel sound.

Subwoofers provide the ultimate effect of the deep bass sounds in the move soundtracks. It is

responsible in providing the thrill to a movie watching experience as it explicitly sounds drama

and emotion as well as suspense which are important while watching a movie. Subwoofers

become a more compulsory accessory for your home theater or you might miss out on a few

adrenaline pumps in the course of a movie. It enhances the whole atmosphere while watching

the movie and makes you feel like you are in a movie theater.

There is no doubt that the speakers available in the market is varied and diverse, but it is very

important to choose the right set of speakers which you think will give you the right mix for your

home theater. The optimum option is to buy a speaker kit which will have all the necessary

speakers for a theater. It could be tempting to try out different combinations of speakers in your

room but sometime this can act against you.

Apart from the many brands of speakers available these days, the styles of the speakers may

surprise you. Speakers that sit on bookshelves, floor speakers and satellite speakers are a few

speakers which are gaining popularity. Although so many varieties are available, floor speakers

are touted to do the best job of it all. But the disadvantage of these is its spacious requirements

as it can take up a lot of a space in your room. Hence wireless speakers and other options

seem to attract a little more attention.

There can be no right or wrong as far as speakers are concerned. They definitely have a

massive and immense impact on a home theater system. Without them it is just not possible to

watch or enjoy movies. Speakers, though, vary with taste of people. Some prefer controlling the

volume of the system and taking their own good time to watch the movie while some watch it for

the feel of it. However, speakers create a good all-round effect and certainly make moviewatching
