Finding the best home theater speaker system
With all the makes and models of home theater 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 theater components, then I’ll show how to get rock bottom prices on a quality home theater system.
Home theater speaker system components
While home theater 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 theater 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 theater speaker system features
Home theater 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 theater 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 theater 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 theater 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 theater systems, pictures of each system, plus detailed product information. They even rate the various retailers so you’ll know which ones are reputable.

I disagree with carl about Sony for home theater gear. There are better brands for receivers and far better makers of speakers.
If you want to do some web shopping to get yourself started (After you find some good gear and deals on line, you can always go to a couple of stores to see if they have the same gear so that you can listen to them in the store, and see if the store can match the on line prices)
Amazon.com sells a lot of home theater gear, and they have some very good deals. I don’t know your budget zone, but they have good AV receivers starting at about $200, with free shipping, and in better brands than Sony. Pioneer, Harmon Kardon, Onkyo, and Denon are all good picks, look over their product descriptions and see which has the inputs and outputs that you want to have available. In speakers, there are 5.1 and 7.1 systems such as by Polk, which offers a nice 5.1 system on amazon, list price of $600, for about $250. Add a larger pair of floorstanding speakers for around $300-$400, and you would have a very good speaker setup, at a good price. Infinity and JBL would be a couple more good speaker maker brands.

You really want to look for 2 things: sound quality and compatibility.
As for the sound quality, listen to the system in the store before you buy it. The 2 most important speakers in the system are the center speaker and the sub-woofer. The center speaker outputs your vocals in both movies and music. You want to make sure the sub-woofer is has a power cord and is not powered by the receiver
As for compatibility, take an inventory of what you will be hooking up to the system now and in the future and make sure the system you buy can handle that many components. Also, look at the back of the speakers and make sure you can disconnect the speaker wire. If you cannot disconnect them, you cannot upgrade your speakers in the future.
On a personal note, I have had good luck with Yamaha systems for the price.
Good luck.
