Buyer's Guide

How to Select the Best Home Theatre Speaker System at the Best Price By: Paul Godfrey

Finding the best home theatre speaker system

With all the makes and models of home theatre speaker systems on the market today finding one that will suit your needs can be a real chore. But there is an easy way to get the system you want at the best possible price.

First we'll take a look at home theatre components, then I'll show how to get rock bottom prices on a quality home theatre system.

Home theatre speaker system components

While home theatre systems can be bought all in one package, buying individual components, including speakers, lets you get the best of every element.

Like any good audio system, the best home theatre speaker systems will have midrange speakers, a set of tweeters, and a sub woofer. It's the speakers that give you the full surround sound experience.

Home theatre speaker system features

Home theatre speaker systems come in wired and wireless designs. Compare them both for their sound quality and how easy or difficult they will be to install.

The best home theatre speaker systems have good crossover design. While the speaker driver is important, good crossover can make any driver sound good, while bad crossover can make even a good driver sound bad.

Music playback is a good way to judge sound quality. Most DVDs do not produce great music signals, but if your speakers can handle a CD, then you know they are going to sound good playing a DVD.

Decide how many speakers you need. Many small speakers provide surround sound while large tower speakers are good for stereo effects. Small speakers also work better with a single sub woofer. The ideal home theatre speaker system has five speakers for surround sound.

You may also prefer one surround sound system to another. The most popular surround sound systems today are Dolby Pro Logic, Virtual Dolby, and Q Surround.

How to compare home theatre speaker system prices

Start by visiting your local electronics stores to get an idea of system capabilities, features, and prices. Make sure you listen to each system so you know how they sound in person. Then go online to get product reviews and price comparisons.

The comparison shopping website I use provides independent comparisons of products as well as unbiased reviews of home speaker systems by consumers like yourself. You also get price comparisons for various home theatre systems, pictures of each system, plus detailed product information. They even rate the various retailers so you'll know which ones are reputable.
