Movie Theater Quality Sound At Home
I used to be fond of the movie theater, but that was in the time when people respected the rights of others to listen to a movie in silence. There were no crying babies, ringing mobile phones or noisy youths in cinemas and if they got in they were soon kicked out if there was any noise.
These days, cinema managers appear to take the easy route of letting these people spoil it for others. As a result, more and more quiet people are staying at home and the cinemas are becoming even noisier. If you are one of the stay-at-homes, but miss the cinema, why not recreate one in your home?
Build yourself a home movie theater with surround sound. You will never be sorry for installing surround sound in your home, because you will be able to play your favourite films, the TV and your music through it. The difference between surround sound and stereo or even quadraphonics is breath-taking.
Different people have different requirements, expectations, finances and even hearing ability, so it is difficult to recommend a system to a mass audience, but there are strategies for going about the purchase of your own home theater system. A lot of people buy a kit home theater. This is OK, if funds are limited, but you will want to upgrade the screen and the speakers before very long. If you just want to put a home theater in a small spare bedroom and do it quickly and easily, then this method is for you.
If, however, you want a bit more, then you might prefer to get a bigger screen but make do with the speakers that came with the kit. These can easily be upgraded later. If you want to get everything part by part, you will need a screen, speakers and DVD player. If you would like to play games too, replace the DVD player with an Xbox.
But back to the speakers, whether you are renewing or putting your own system together, the tactics I suggest hold true. Write down the dimensions of your room or better still do a little plan of it to scale. Take this around the shops and malls and try to listen to a few set-ups in a room similar to your own. This could be difficult, but you might be lucky.
Work out whether you need a 3.1; 4.1; 5.1; 6.1 or even 7.1 set of compatible surround sound speakers. Basically, it all depends on the size of your room, but the shop assistant will be able to show and advise you. As a rule, a 5.1 surround sound set will be sufficient for most rooms. The figures stand for normal speakers and sub-woofers: ie 5.1 means five normal speakers and one sub-woofer.
The placement of the speakers depends on the size and shape of the room and on your personal preference, but the standard layout would be: one speaker the far left and far right of the screen and one underneath it with two more speakers a little apart from each other at the back of the audience. The sub-woofer can go at the front or the rear.

Home Theater Speaker Fundamentals
However, if you get it right, you can easily recreate the sound quality achieved in a full size movie theater. Unfortunately though, many people seem to get baffled about which speakers they should have, when they go to buy for their home theater in order to create real surround sound.
The minimum requirements for a decent set of surround sound speakers are a left and right channel speaker, a centre channel speaker and a sub-woofer. The following are the basic speakers that are necessary to make up a good home theater: front left and right speakers, a centre channel speaker, surround sound speakers. Often people try to do without the centre channel speaker, but this speaker supplies a good proportion of the soundtrack in a lot of movies as well as adding depth to the dialogue.
The surround sound makes the film sound more realistic. It is what makes the difference between watching TV at home and going to the movie theater. The choice of having this at home has only lately become affordable. The most common systems are: 5.1 channel, 6.1 channel, or 7.1 channel surround sound. The first figure refers to the number of normal loud speakers and the second one to the number of sub-woofers. The number of speakers that is the best for you, depends on the size and shape of the room you are sitting in. The more is not always the merrier.
The sub-woofer is the cause of the deep bass sound that underlies so many movie soundtracks and these are the sounds that are responsible for heightening the drama in a film. A good sub-woofer is an vital part of your home theater speaker package, if you do not have one, you will miss out on this.
There are many brands on the market and some are cheaper than others, but it is important that you pick speakers that will work well together. They have to be compatible. If you do not know how to make sure that they are, the best choice for this is to buy all your speakers together in one kit by one maker. It may be tempting to save money by mixing and trying to match speakers, but if you get it wrong, you will not generate the true quality of sound you are eager to achieve in your home theater.
Some speakers are made to place on the floor and others are made to hang on the wall. Floor standing speakers are the best for home theater, but they also take up the most room and can have wires traipsing everywhere. If this is not a problem to you, then fine, but if it is, you can solve it by buying wireless speakers.
