What Are The Home Theater Components I Should Buy?

By Rebecca Lane


There are some home theater components that you simply cannot do without when setting up your own home theater. The number one variable in the equation would be the size of your entertainment area.

You would want to buy home theater components that give you a robust sound if you're setting up in a large room. That sound, though, can get muffled and sound substandard if you use the same equipment in a small room.

An everyday example of this would be cars that pass by during everyday traffic. You could hear the speakers go snap, crackle, pop as the loud music gets shackled inside such a small space.

Not too many people consider the difference in sound when the room is carpeted versus when the room isn't. What about lighting? Is it natural? Or probably recessed? You need to factor this in as well.

And finally, off to the components - the first one you would need is something to display the video. In simpler terms, that just means what kind of screen are you going to use. A large screen television? A screen made specifically for home theaters? The small 25 inch television?

All three will vastly change the way your images are viewed. When choosing television screens for your home theater system, go with a front projection or rear projection television for ideal results. Front projection isn't actually all together in a television unit. It's a film projector with a cloth screen, but still pretty good.

The next component you'll need is the receiver or the combination. Just look for items listed as amplifier combination components and you're all set. You can find a receiver that will include the components you need so that you don't have to buy them separately if you don't want to.

You can even save more time in shopping by buying a DVD player that already comes complete with a surround sound receiver. Be on the lookout for package deals if you wish to save some valuable time and maybe some money too.

You'll want speakers that are appropriate for the space where the theater will be set up. Some of the better home theaters do have six speakers but if you get good quality speakers, you can use four. Don't think so much of the volume, because if it's too loud everything could all sound like mumbo jumbo. If you have to skimp anywhere in your home theater components, do not skimp with the speakers.
