A Guide To Buying Surround Sound Speakers

By Dave Heebs

Home theater systems are meant to entertain guests in a movie theater-like environment. People who are purchasing the components to build these systems out are always looking for the best quality they can get. Speakers are one component that can cost alot of money if you are not careful.

But not everyone is a millionaire who can afford the top of the line for everything. Frequently, folks who live in the real world will have to make sacrifices on some of their home theater components. This means getting a second or third tier component that is not as expensive. The good news is that the speaker is the best candidate for this. Speakers are the component where good quality can be had from the second and third tier models. In order to find the best speakers for your home theater system you should do your research in order to make sure you get the right ones for you.

The biggest factor is going to be your budget. There is no use looking at speakers that you have no hope of being able to buy. Your time is precious and researching and looking at speakers in your price range will save you valuable time that is more useful being spent narrowing your list of speaker candidates down.

Some stereo equipment works better with other specific equipment. When selecting a speaker for your system, you will want to match up the best speaker to the best component. To do this, you will need to list the requirements for your system before takign the next step.

Now that you have established how much money you have and the requirements for your theater system, your next move is to research all fo the models that fit both of these pre-requisites. This research will get you a list of speakers to choose from.

The next step is to read as many reviews as possible about the speaker models on your list. These reviews will be from magazines as well as consumers who have bought the model and have real world experience with the speaker. The things you want to focus on are the warranty, the performance and the sound quality.

Always buy your speakers in a set of five. This will allow you to place the center speaker in front of your audience and then the other four speakers at the diagonal corners framing the seating area. This will allow you a surround sound quality movie experience.

Purchasing the right speakers for your home theater system does not have to be the equivalent of going to the dentist. If you take it one step at a time and make sure you stay within budget and do your research, your results will be very rewarding.
