What Everyone Should Know To Get That Best Home Theater System Experience

Planning The Best Home Theater System For a Dedicated Room

With so many new technologies becoming available for entertainment, it is no wonder that so many people are starting to dedicate an entire room in their home for a theater system.  Putting together an entire system from single units is often a tedious task for anyone, but there are some tips that can be followed to simplify the process.  Planning the best home theater system can still take some time, but it is well worth it in the end.  By turning an entire room into a theater, movies and high definition television shows can be viewed better than ever before.  While recreating the movie theater experience, a home theater is much more convenient and can be a great improvement to add to any home.

There are many components that can be used to set up the dedicated room home theater system.  When making the plans, it is important to include a projector screen or high definition television, a Blu-ray player, and a surround audio system.  For those who are not wanting to do the research to locate the individual components, there are home theater in a box products that will included everything that is needed to get started.  While DVD players were once the popular choice, Blu-ray has quickly become the best choice because of the superb quality picture that is offered.  The best home theater system for you may be a home theater in a box system that incorporates Blu-ray, wireless speakers, and streaming media from Netflix and Pandora.

Proper research will play an enormous role in selecting the right equipment for your needs, so it is important to read everything you can find on the products, including some reviews. In order to make the theatrical experience at home better than going to the movies, it is essential to incorporate a large screen television that is at least 27 inches across.  Four or more speakers located around the room will give the surround sound experience that will allow the movies you watch to be even more dramatic.  

Sound is the key “wow” factor for any theater system. I’m sure that you’ve gone to theaters where they demonstrate the power of the sound system just before the movie starts. Unfortunately many home enthusiast fail to place the proper emphasis on sound and become dissapointed at the performance of their own. It is probably the component of the system where you can least afford to economize.

When setting up the dedicated room, it is important to keep in mind that the room will need to be enclosed, just like a movie theater, for the best sound quality.  Arranging the components within the room will mostly depend on the size and layout of the room.  By placing the screen on one wall and using the speakers all around, the room will closely resemble a movie theater.  While the best home theater system will often cost a large amount of money, there are many choices to make that can keep the cost under a tight budget.

    You should probably check out Amazon (link below) for most of these, as they offer free shipping on most AV receivers and can generally take $100 or more off the price of a receiver. I actually spoke with an AV pro at Circuit City the other day, and here were his feelings on receivers:

    Top of the line: Denon (and some Sony's). They just make the highest quality receivers that are capable of doing pretty much anything you want. However, he did forewarn me (and I believe it) that setting up a Denon system is not for the faint of heart of the inexperienced. He said he's seen people struggle with it for days before calling in an expert.

    Pretty good: Yamaha and Onkyo (and Harmon Kardon). Both make similar style receivers that are fairly (moderately) intuitive to set up. I know Onkyo provides a microphone that is supposed to optimize the sound quality and the point where you put the mike. I don't think Yamaha's have that on their mid-range receivers.

    After that: Sherwood and other makers. Just not the kind of product you want to buy if you're looking for quality. These are more of the "just-scraping-by" style recievers. I'd spend the little extra to make sure you got a quality product that will last you more than a year or two.

    For someone who's just looking to get into the market (which it sounds like you are), you may want to look at the Onkyo TX-SR605 style reciever. It has up-converstion, meaning that you can run one single HDMI cable to your HDTV, and all other video signals will be formatted to work. It has 2 HDMI inputs, 3 component video inputs, and 4 digital audio inputs, which should be plenty to last a while. The set up is fairly obvious on the entire receiver and provides plenty of power to the speakers. Most importantly, you can find it (right now) for $400-$500 USD at several retail outlets, including Amazon. A great receiver if you're just getting into them.

    Also, speakers are a different subject. You don't want the brands I listed above, you want to look into Boston Acoustics, Polk Audio, Bose and JBL, to name a few. The sound quality and speaker make up will be much better and last longer. You want a cone (the part that makes the sound) that is not paper, but ceramic, plastic and/or part titanium.

    Hope this helps! Check out the link below Amazon (CNET) for more comprehensive reviews of everything you're looking for.
