How to pick the right surround sound system for your home theater

By George D Patterson


How do you pick the best surround sound system for your home theater? This isn't actually a simple task unless you already know a good deal about multichannel audio. There are numerous of important elements to keep in mind; determining how your audio system could fit in your home entertainment system is essentially the most important.

Simply start out by measuring the room. Followed by taking photographs of the room. With this data in hand, visit your local sound media shop and show it to the tech guy there. It helps to have a basic idea of what brand, size, and amount of equipment you want to go for - of course your budget may also put some constraints on your freedom of choice.

A very useful tip I can give you is to keep all the different components of your surround-sound the same brand. If you use a Sony television and bluray player, then also use Sony speakers. Different components of the same brand work better together, I've found. It makes sense, since they've been built to work together!

Consider what exactly you'd be using your home entertainment system for. If you are going to use the surround-sound speakers for gaming, then look for a set-up professionally engineered for gaming.

This is why I have two entertainment rooms at home, for gaming and video. If everything goes into one room, you'll have to find some middle ground in the technology.

You might be tempted to simply purchase your speakers online, and that is what I do, but not without first seeing it in person in a store and consulting with a professional. It's difficult otherwise to know if they'll make a perfect fit. Do you research from home, online, and compare the data with what you see in the store.

Having decided on a product, don't just shelve out the money at the first store. You can save a lot by buying the product decided on online. Using this method has over time saved me thousands of dollars.

This route has saved me thousands of dollars, with many free products in online promotions. Check out the TVs and speakers in a shop, talk to someone and make sure it's a right fit. Buy it online. Together with great sound you will be able to enjoy your movies much more intensely.

The perfect area to start working on your home entertainment system is audio.
